In this episode, we not only hear \"the sounds of ABE\" as it happened, but we also hear a range of differing perspectives from a number of different people associated deeply with Bookkeeping and Business here in Australia, focussing specifically on Artificial Business (AI). Where is AI at in 2026 for Bookkeepers and Small Business owners is tackled head on in this episode and why is it important to be across the phases we now find ourselves in and how easy it could be to miss key messaging and the right suggested approaches to take, regarding this brave (but at times daunting) new world. Plenty of deep insights as well as some great tips and tricks are discussed in this episode of the Podcast and come off the back of the ICB touring the country unpacking AI in a Bootcamp / Workshop to members in attendance.</p>","author_name":"Rob Marshall"}
