Big Tech and it's ethical issues discussed
Big tech has brought with it an obsession to make money as efficiently as possible without regard to the ethical impact on individuals and society as a whole. The authors of the 2021 book, System Error, believe the problem with big tech is that innovations are solely designed by technologists, funded by freewheeling venture capitalists, with little regulatory oversight – a formula for the long list of negative impacts of unbridled high-tech. And the big tech ethical dilemma is getting worse day by day. So, what are some solutions?
To gain a better understanding of some alternatives to lessen the negative impact and achieve a better, more positive impact of technology. You will get this overview in this previously live webinar. (Note: there will be polling questions throughout that you will not be able to answer since this is not live.)

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.
