This week’s podcast guest is Vidya Peters, CEO of DataSnipper, who discusses how artificial intelligence is changing the age-old profession of auditing, why it’s good to be sceptical of grand government announcements, but there is genuine excitement around Labour’s AI plans and why European founders should look beyond their borders when fundraising.
DataSnipper provides audit and finance teams with an intelligent automation platform to reduce the burden of overly manual auditing. Peters said while the auditing industry is one ripe to be improved by AI tools, the goal is always to enhance the efficacy of auditors, not to replace them.
Peters believes that alongside auditing, AI has massive potential to relieve the intense pressure on Britain’s public services, in particular for the NHS and education system.
