Kuvaus

Erityisesti sisäisille tarkastajille suunnattu kurssi tarjoaa perustiedot uudesta generatiivisen tekoälyn aallosta. kurssi sopii tarkastajille, jotka haluavat ymmärtää sen keskeiset käsitteet

Course description

This course will explore what it means for them professionally, the challenges it poses for their organisation, the potential benefits and pitfalls of its use, and ultimately how they can quickly and easily start to use the technology to enhance their impact and productivity. The course also promotes idea exchange and network benchmarking between participants.

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.

This course is for new beginners and internal auditors who are not too familiar with using AI. We also offer a follow up 4 hour course on March 13, AI for IA – Level 2: Beyond the Basics.

What will I learn?

Upon completion you will be able to:

• define the basic concepts of generative AI
• identify standards and guidelines associated with the use of AI
• identify the various interaction points between AI and the internal audit team
• assess the risks and opportunities of generative AI, and what that may mean for internal audit teams
• review the key components of an effective AI strategy for internal audit
• identify and evaluate a portfolio of potential use cases for LLM generative AI in your teams
• explain the fundamentals of Prompt engineering for improved responses and content generation
• construct your own prompts and use generative AI models in the context of internal audit
• appraise and defend ideas and learnings with peers.
