"Is AI Disrupting Everything?" with Pratish Sharma of TCS (UK)

"To flourish and use AI, a company needs to be proficient in the
strategic acquisition of data"


GBD53. In a fast-evolving cyber tech landscape, our guest
Pratish Sharma advises finance and other organisations on safe
practices with their digital footprint. He is a corporate trainer
and speaker, an expert in AI (Artificial Intelligence),
cybersecurity and RPA (robotic process automation) through Excel
& Automated Solutions. Pratish tells AICPA & CIMA's
Kyle Hannan what he's learned from years of specialising in IT
infrastructure and helping corporates improve the security of
their information systems.


 


WE DISCUSS:


Business automation and dashboards.

Big Data.

Chatbots and Accounting Bots.

Lawtech

The 'trolley' problem.

What kind of skills can we learn for the future?

How can we safeguard ourselves by knowing more than the
‘bots’?

Disruption to people as the human workforce is
decreased and more roles are automated.

Recruitment, talent and headhunting.

Do we need to become more creative to protect ourselves from
automation?

How can organisations think differently and retrain staff
instead of reducing?
