AI is affecting just about everything in business and in people’s personal lives. The operation of an internal control system is also changing because of this incredible advancement. This session explains what AI is and how it works and then goes into detail about how it can be applied to a system of internal control. The material speaks about changes occurring in today’s world as well as what’s coming in the not-too-distant future.
