This morning, I had the pleasure of attending the Chartered Accountants Ulster Society Chair's Breakfast, where we listened to knowledgeable speakers on AI and the current skills gaps in Northern Ireland. The venue at Custom House Square provided a lovely backdrop for insightful conversations and networking. It's clear that addressing these skills gaps will be crucial for our region's future. Looking forward to seeing how we can collaborate to bridge these gaps and harness the potential of AI in our industries. #UlsterSociety #AI #SkillsGap #NorthernIreland I've now used #ChatGBT for the first time!!!!
