Generative AI & Microsoft Copilot

11/30/23, 12:00 - 1:30 PM ET

Why is there so much buzz around AI, particularly Generative AI? What is Microsoft’s strategy for infusing AI into its products? What does it mean for tax and what should tax departments be thinking about now to be ready for it?

AI could take the firefighting out of tax, and make it a key value driver for the organization. This session offers a deep dive into practical use cases of AI in tax, where algorithms decode complex legislation, scrutinize invoices, and highlight “needle-in-the-haystack” areas so seasoned tax professionals can focus their attention.

We’ll kick off with a common working definition of AI, unpack the reasons behind its meteoric rise, and share our views on what the next 12 months might look like. We’ll spend the rest of the session immersed in joint use cases and demos from Microsoft and EY relevant to your day-to-day. Join us at the forefront of innovation and make the leap into the AI-driven future of indirect tax -- where compliance meets efficiency, and knowledge becomes power.

Speakers:

Ivan Roussev, Ernst & Young LLP

Alex Soltis, Microsoft Corporation
