Generative AI

by Andy Davis

Generative AI is the next big thing, but is it really all it's cracked up to be? This course will cut through the hype and explain where generative AI shines, where it stumbles, and how to work alongside it rather than be replaced by it.

About the course

Generative AI offers a world where routine accounting tasks are handled by intelligent systems, financial models are generated in seconds, and data-driven insights are at your fingertips. However, while generative AI holds immense potential, it's crucial to recognise its limitations. And like any technology, its true value depends on how we use it.

This course takes a deep dive into generative AI. We examine how it works, discuss what we can and cannot (or should not) do with it, and explore how to make these AI models work effectively and responsibly for us as trusted accounting and finance professionals.
