Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and Machine Learning (“ML”) are being deployed 
in organizations large and small at a rapidly increasing rate. Your organization is likely testing, 
deploying and perhaps refining AI-powered applications across a variety of departments and 
business functions. Why should this matter to accounting, internal audit, finance and cyber 
professionals? Should our teams be testing and deploying also? 
During this interactive session we will demonstrate and describe the differences between chat- 
based AI search tools and more robust AI-powered applications such as one that we helped build 
to help prioritize and dispatch IT help desk tickets. The session will include example policies for 
responsible and ethical AI, and resources to help curious professionals learn more about these 
subjects. 
These technologies are powerful and quite capable, they are not without risk. After all, with great 
power comes great responsibility. These technologies can also be misused (accidentally or 
intentionally) to destroy value instead of creating it. 
We also discuss which is the greater risk; a) not using these new technologies or b) misusing these 
new technologies? Leading organizations have been using AI and ML. Successful leaders must be 
aware of the pros and cons and how to properly utilize these tools.
