The Risks of Generative AI Use in Accounting Practice
Last time we looked at the general capabilities of generative AI and its potential use in the accounting industry. But beware, in general, generative-AI systems have several potential risks including sensitive data leakage to a large language model (LLM,) unreliable or improper prompt input, unreliable system output, including hallucination, knowledge obsolescence, bias, and unethical output, bottlenecks introduced to your […]
Generative-AI Use in Accounting
Generative-AI Capabilities, Promise, and Practice In this multi-part series, we examine the potential role of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in accountancy. First, we look at the capabilities of generative AI, the needs of the accounting industry, and how generative AI capabilities can help. We review the risks involved in the use of artificial intelligence in general and in accounting. Then we […]
Social Media Attribution For Artificially Generated Content, Part V/V
Addendum, Appropriate Prompt Engineering To repeat what was said in part I/V, in Generative AI users interact with the Large Language Model (LLM) through a chatbot, entering textual instructions in natural language or pseudocode in a process known as prompt engineering. The goal of prompt engineering is the design of optimal prompts given the LLM and […]
Social Media Attribution For Artificially Generated Content, Part IV/V
For social media post, in addition to fact checking artificially generated content, attributing artificially generated content is best.
Social Media Attribution For Artificially Generated Content, Part III/V
LLM Imperfections, Vicariousness, And Vicissitudes Briefly, the providers of LLMs in their terms of service make the disclaimer that their models are experimental and may produce errors. For example, OpenAI says “…Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving fields of study. We are constantly working to improve our Services to make them more accurate, reliable, safe, […]
Social Media Attribution For Artificially Generated Content, Part II/V
AI Legal Grey Areas Last time, en route to understanding AI Attribution, we introduced the Large Language Models (LLMs.) Still, on the detour, artificial intelligence operates in legal grey areas and the technology is not perfect; so, there are some issues worth noting. Among these issues are the Large Language Models training process, database rights […]
Social Media Attribution For Artificially Generated Content, Part I/V
Before Anything Else Continuing with the theme of attribution started in the previous series “Social Media, Copyright, and Attribution, Convergence,” where we looked primarily at attribution for conventional sources of information and media; we now look closer at attribution for artificial intelligence i.e., artificially generated content. Artificially generated content is based on the information technology […]
