Rise of the humans: our future in an AI world

This webinar was first broadcast in November 2024 as part of ACCA's global flagship virtual conference – Accounting for the Future

Overview

A person looking thoughtful

We stand at the precipice of a transformational technological landscape. Everyone will be affected. The winners will be those who reinvent what they do and how they do it, increasing value for their business, not merely looking for efficiencies by automating today’s tasks. In this lively and engaging session, renowned former Microsoft UK chief envisioning officer Dave Coplin looks at problems, mistakes and assumptions before ultimately focusing on how we can best ensure our organisations thrive in this new era.

In this webinar we look at:

  • the Impact of the pandemic on technology adoption
  • understanding artificial intelligence and its role
  • generative AI and its multimodal capabilities
  • the role of human skills in the age of AI
  • accountability and ethical considerations in AI
  • the opportunity cost of automation
  • empowering people and organisations for the future
  • the importance of asking the right questions.
