Who should attend?

This course will be of value to internal auditors who are curious about generative AI and would like to take their first structural steps into its use. Those that will benefit the most from the practical use cases in the course are those at the beginning of their journey with either no or limited exploratory exposure to generate AI models such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or Microsoft Co-Pilot for example. Heads of audit and those with leadership responsibility will benefit from the course as a stimulant for their AI strategy development and how to galvanise their teams on their AI journey.
