I have just seen ACCA’s most recent Instagram post (Linking to the March ABMagazine) regarding chat GPT and AI in general.
I know as part of SBR we are supposed to read around the subject and understand current issues. Could this make up a question or even part of one? E.g. Lack of standards for AI generated work, AI model as intangible asset?
Or maybe even as it could come up as an ethics question similar to the distribute blockchain Question. Like referencing Professional Competency of accountant in understanding. Privacy and security of data, self interest or intimidation of trying to get a job/keep one, skepticism of dat.
What do we think? Anything big I’m missing?
Worth noting another reason I thought it could be a possibility is that the big AI news articles came out over 6 months ago now, so feels like it would be a good amount of time for a question to be written.
