Real Talk: AI Is Not As Important as You Think in Accounting
It’s the one big thing on everyone’s mind.
A.I.
This week’s guest has all the answers to your questions both hopeful and bleak. Chad Davis is the co-founder and partner of LiveCA LLP – and a self-proclaimed AI and automation geek.
Yuri and Chad discuss the AI of it all – it’s application in firms that are both tech averse and those that may be too tech-eager. They also investigate some situations where AI may not be the right answer, as well as how you can be a better shopper when it comes to new software.
For those of you with your own firms, or working on your own, this episode provides a great look into what your initial position should be and how bought in you are on this part of the future.
