The August/September 2024 issue of Accountancy Ireland is out now! This edition is dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI), and the ways in which this technology is shaping the way we live and work. For Chartered Accountants, AI holds the potential to support and elevate the profession, moving their work up the value chain by automating some of the repetitive tasks that occupy so much time today. There is much to be positive about, but AI is not without risk and challenge. Staying one step ahead of the curve means getting to grips with AI today and taking the lead on its development and adoption in the future. Already, Chartered Accountants are at the vanguard of developments in AI across business and practice. In this issue, we are bringing you just some of their stories, experiences, insights and advice. Thank you, as always, to all our contributors. Read the full issue on the Accountancy Ireland website: https://brnw.ch/21wLH9f #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Finance #CharteredAccountants
