Course description:
Agentic AI represents a new wave of artificial intelligence—systems that not only assist but autonomously perceive, reason, and act toward goals. For CPAs, this shift means a profound change in how work is performed, with major implications for trust, ethics, and professional judgment.
What Is Agentic AI?
Definition: Agentic AI refers to autonomous agents that make complex decisions, develop plans, adapt to changing environments, and execute tasks with minimal human intervention
Key Capabilities: Combines large language models (LLMs), machine learning, and context-awareness to handle dynamic workflows proactively
This thought-provoking webinar invites CPAs to explore what the rise of agentic AI means for the future of the profession. Rather than focusing solely on current tools or use cases, we will examine emerging trajectories: What happens when AI takes on tasks once reserved for professional judgment? How do we uphold ethics, accountability, and trust in a world where machines act independently? And what role will CPAs play as stewards of integrity in this new technological era?
Designed for those who want to look beyond the horizon, this session offers a strategic lens on what’s coming next—and what CPAs need to know
