You may be surprised to learn how artificial intelligence is transforming the music you love. For example, what happens when AI creates songs based on other people’s work without credit or payment? How should musicians disclose the role of AI in their recordings? The challenges that AI poses for music, such as threats to intellectual property, confidentiality, fairness, and professional reputations, are also emerging in accounting. This one-hour ethics course invites you to explore one of your favorite subjects outside of work. You’ll discover how the five principles of ethical intelligence can help you listen to music in ways you never considered before. You’ll also see how these same principles guide you in making the best decisions in your accounting practice. This course offers NASBA-approved non-technical (behavioral) ethics credit and counts toward your 80-hour CPE requirement; however, it does not satisfy the California Board of Accountancy’s four-hour technical (regulatory) ethics requirement.
