he says . “ This is the topic that our clients have been most interested in on our own journey that I ’ ve experienced .”
KPMG describes itself as client zero – it is its own first client , which has the advantage of allowing a really granular development , at speed .
“ We ’ re creating a team of people who are driving forward AI around the world .”
Regulating AI As the technology emerges , so follows the regulation – slowly , in comparison to AI ’ s swift emergence .
“ The pace of change is ahead of regulation ,” David says . “ Organisations are having to fill that gap with good corporate governance themselves , but investors are challenging that which is one of the reasons why boards are interested in how they ’ re going to oversee AI in their organisations , as found in the report .” energydigital . com 117
