Learn how AI ethics interact with the fundamental responsibilities of APES 110, and what steps professional accountants need to consider from an ethical perspective before using AI for business purposes.
Description
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more popular and prevalent in our working lives, and the opportunities AI presents seem endless. But how much do we really know about these AI solutions?

This recorded webinar explores the rise of AI in business, how AI ethics may or may not interact with the fundamental responsibilities of APES 110, and what steps professional accountants need to consider from an ethical perspective before using AI for business purposes.
