CFO Series: AI is Not the Enemy: Getting the Most from AI
CPE Credit:
2
Overview
Description:
Are you and your organization using AI effectively today? AI isn’t coming, it’s already here. As a leader, you don’t need to be an engineer, but you must be in control.
Conscientious professionals must get a clear handle on AI: what it does well, where it goes wrong, and how to keep it from becoming a liability. We’ll discuss the real risks behind the buzzwords, from deepfakes and fraud, to flawed decision tools and hidden bias. We’ll also break down what smart oversight looks like and how AI can expose gaps in your internal controls.
Most importantly, this isn’t a doom-and-gloom session. It’s about showing you how to lead confidently in a world where AI plays a growing role in financial decision making, whether you’re already deploying AI or not. Those who embrace AI are ready for tomorrow, do not be left behind.
