At the 2024 edition of the North American Finance Executive Summit series we sat down with Tom Hood, AICPA & CIMA’s EVP — Business Engagement and Growth, to explore one of the most topical and timely topics out there at the moment: How is Generative AI going to impact me? Senior Finance leaders are in a particularly exciting place with this new and emerging technology, as their function already has a lot of familiarity and comfort-level with different forms of automation, and data already flows into their department. Is there an opportunity for Finance to be at the forefront of their organization’s adoption of Generative AI? What would that look like in real terms, and what should Finance professionals be thinking about and learning about as they prepare themselves for the future? How are associations like AICPA & CIMA helping people get up to speed, stay informed and engaged, and understand both the challenges and the opportunities of this exciting new tool? For all this and more, give this episode a listen!
