About This Course

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has long captured our imagination, from the fictional HAL 9000 to IBM Watson’s real-world Jeopardy win. But AI is no longer just science fiction—it's a part of our daily lives through platforms like Google Home, Netflix, and Amazon.

Whether you're new to AI or seeking to understand its impact on your industry, this presentation offers a clear, thought-provoking overview of AI’s growing role in our personal and professional lives.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
