CHAPTER 1: HISTORY OF HUMAN AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
1.1 What is Intelligence, Human Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence?
What is Intelligence?
Intelligence is like a superpower of your brain. It's how we learn new things, solve
problems, and adapt when things change. For example, figuring out how to put
together a puzzle or learning how to bake a cake by following a recipe, that's your
intelligence at work!
Intelligence is the ability to learn, understand, apply knowledge, and adapt to new
situations. It involves the capacity to reason, solve problems, think abstractly,
comprehend complex ideas, and learn quickly and experientially. It's not merely book
learning, a narrow academic skill, or test-
taking smarts. Instead, intelligence reflects a
broader and deeper capability for
comprehending our surroundings, for making
sense of things, or for "figuring out" what to
do.
Intelligence can also be understood in

multiple dimensions, such as emotional
intelligence, social intelligence, and creative
intelligence. Emotional intelligence refers to
the ability to identify, use, understand, and
manage emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively,
empathize with others, overcome challenges, and defuse conflict. Social intelligence
refers to the ability to understand and manage social situations and behaviors
effectively. Creative intelligence, on the other hand, pertains to the capacity to come
up with new and effective ways to solve problems and challenges.
What is Human Intelligence?
Human intelligence is our unique ability to think, learn, solve problems, and make
decisions. Think about when you're trying to beat a difficult level in a video game. Your
brain is quickly figuring out what buttons to press, when to jump, and what path to
take. This fast thinking and learning are part of human intelligence. It's not only about
what we're born with but also about what we learn from our surroundings and
experiences.
Human intelligence is a type of intelligence displayed by humans that incorporates
many interconnected abilities, such as the capacities to reason, solve problems, think
abstractly, comprehend ideas and language, and learn. What sets human intelligence
apart from other forms of intelligence we see in the natural world is its complexity
and versatility.
The human brain has evolved to carry out a series of complex tasks, from interpreting
sensory information and recognizing patterns to planning future actions and abstract
thinking. It's the combination of these cognitive processes, interacting dynamically
with our emotions and instincts, that results in human intelligence.
Human intelligence is shaped by both genetic factors and the environment, or nature
and nurture. It has a developmental aspect, with individuals learning and adapting to
their environments as they grow older, a process heavily influenced by education,
culture, and personal experiences.
What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is like teaching a computer or a robot to think, learn, and
make decisions. Imagine a robot that can play chess with you, or a smartphone app
that can answer your questions. These are examples of AI. But unlike humans, AI
doesn't have feelings or understand things like we do. They just follow the
instructions or rules that are programmed into them by people.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science dedicated to creating

machines and systems capable of performing tasks that normally require human
intelligence. This includes tasks like understanding natural language, recognizing
patterns, solving problems, and making decisions. AI can be categorized into two
types: narrow AI, which is designed to perform a narrow task (e.g., facial recognition
or internet searches), and general AI, which can perform any intellectual task that a
human being can do.
Here's a simple table to show the difference between Human Intelligence and
Artificial Intelligence:

expand. They started looking back at the knowledge from ancient Greek and
Roman times. There were also many new developments in art, literature,
science, and philosophy.
Modern Human Development
13. Scientific Revolution (500 years ago): During the Scientific Revolution,
people began to think differently about the world, using a more modern
understanding. This was when the scientific method was developed, thanks to
people like Galileo, Newton, and Kepler.
14. Industrial Revolution (200 years ago): The Industrial Revolution was a time
when industry rapidly increased. This started in Britain and spread
throughout the world. It led to major social and economic changes, like more
people moving to cities and an increase in the working class.
15. The Technological Revolution (100 years ago): The Technological
Revolution, or the Second Industrial Revolution, brought quick advancements
in technology and industry. This is when electricity, the telephone, and
assembly line production came about.
16. The Information Revolution (50 years ago): The Information Revolution,
also known as the Digital Revolution, was when society shifted from
traditional industry to an economy based on information technology. This was
the beginning of the Information Age.

machine learning saw a lot of development. This allowed us to get insights
from large amounts of data and automate complex tasks. Advanced AI
language models like GPT-3 were developed. They can write text, answer
questions, and do certain tasks like a human. This is a big advancement in
language technology. AI started being used in many areas, such as healthcare,
education, finance, and entertainment. This marked the start of the AI era.
History and Artificial Intelligence Timeline
1. 1950s: This is when AI was born. A man named Alan Turing suggested a test
(now known as the Turing Test) to see if a machine could really think.
2. 1956: This is when the term 'Artificial Intelligence' was first used. It happened
at a conference at Dartmouth College. People were really excited about what
AI could do, which led to a lot of work in this field.
3. 1974-1980: This period is called the AI Winter. People were disappointed

because AI wasn't progressing as quickly as they had hoped. As a result, less
money was spent on AI research.
4. 1980-1987: During this time, AI became popular again thanks to expert

systems (computer systems that mimic human experts) and a big project in
Japan to develop advanced computers.
5. 1987-1993: Another AI Winter occurred. People realized that expert systems

had limitations and that creating a general-purpose AI (an AI that can
understand or learn any intellectual task that a human being can) was harder
than they thought.
6. 1997: A big moment for AI happened when IBM's computer called Deep Blue
beat the world chess champion, Garry Kasparov. This showed that AI could
perform complex tasks.
7. 2011: Another IBM machine, called Watson, won a game of Jeopardy! against
human champions. This was another big win for AI.
8. 2012: There was a big change in AI due to deep learning and neural networks.
These technologies try to mimic the human brain to learn from large amounts
of data. This was made possible by more powerful computers and the
availability of more data.
9. 2015: AlphaGo, a program developed by a company called DeepMind, beat a

world champion at the game Go. Go is considered more complex than chess, so
this was a huge achievement for AI.
10. 2020-2022: AI continues to improve and evolve. For example, we now have
AI models like GPT-4 that can write like a human. Also, self-driving cars are
becoming more common. There's a lot of excitement about what AI will do
next.
11. AI Singularity (2024-2030): AI singularity describes a hypothetical future

point in time when artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence,
leading to an era of rapid technological growth and societal changes that are
beyond our current understanding.
1.2 More about AI Singularity
The AI Singularity is a theory or idea about the future. Some people believe that there
will come a point when AI will become so advanced that it will be able to improve
itself. This means AI could make itself smarter and smarter, faster than humans could.
This point is called the "Singularity."
In the context of AI, surpassing human intelligence doesn't only mean that AI will
become better at solving complex problems, but also that it will be capable of
recursive self-improvement. In other words, these superintelligent AI systems could
redesign themselves or create more advanced systems, which could lead to an
exponential increase in intelligence, often referred to as "intelligence explosion."
The AI Singularity is often associated with the idea that AI could solve many of
humanity's problems, such as disease, poverty, and even mortality. However, it's also
been connected with risks and challenges, including the potential for AI to become
uncontrollable or to be used in harmful ways.
Here's a table showing the differences:

 Advisory Services: AI could assist CAs, CPAs, and CFAs in offering tailored
advice to their clients. AI could analyze a client's financial situation and
goals, and offer personalized strategies.
 Skills Shift: With routine tasks automated, professionals may need to shift
their focus to skills that AI cannot replicate as of the current understanding,
such as strategic advisory roles, complex decision-making, leadership,
empathy, and interpersonal communication.
 Continuing Education: As AI becomes an integral part of the financial

world, professionals will need to learn how to work with AI tools and
understand the principles behind them. This could become a crucial part of
the continuing education for CAs, CPAs, and CFAs.
While the concept of the Singularity is intriguing, it's essential to stress that it is a
theoretical concept and the timeline is uncertain. Many experts caution against undue
optimism or fear, noting that AI development requires careful management to
maximize benefits and mitigate risks.
The rapid increase in intelligence and technology development we've seen in

recent years can be attributed to several interconnected factors.
1. Information Accessibility: The advent of the internet has fundamentally

transformed the way we access and share information. Knowledge that would
have been hard to find or even inaccessible a few decades ago is now just a few
clicks away. This has accelerated learning and innovation, as individuals can
easily build upon existing knowledge.
2. Data Availability: The digital age has led to an explosion of data, often
referred to as "big data". Every action we take online, every digital device we
use, generates data that can be analyzed and learned from. This has led to the
development of new fields, such as data science, that are focused on making
sense of this information.
3. Collaboration: Digital tools have made it possible for people around the world
to collaborate in real-time, leading to the faster spread of ideas and quicker
development of new technologies.
4. Computational Power: The increase in computational power over the past

few decades has also played a significant role. It's allowed us to process large
amounts of data more quickly and to develop more complex algorithms, like
those used in AI and machine learning.
5. Technological Feedback Loop: As we develop new technologies, they often

help us develop even more advanced technologies at an even faster rate. This
creates a kind of feedback loop, where technology begets more technology,
leading to exponential growth.
6. Digital Participation: With the rise of social media and other online
platforms, more people than ever before are contributing to the digital
landscape. This widespread participation helps fuel the rapid development of
new ideas and technologies.
In the past, limitations in communication and record-keeping indeed slowed the pace
of development. Innovations could be lost or forgotten, and knowledge was often
confined to small areas. Now, we're in a different era, where information is preserved
and shared globally. This has led to the rapid acceleration of innovation and
intelligence that we're seeing today.
1.4 Brief Overview of ML, DL and LLM
AI is a broad term and incorporates many subfields, two of which are Machine
Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL).
Machine Learning is a subset of AI that gives computers the ability to learn without
being explicitly programmed. In other words, ML systems can learn from experience.
They use algorithms to analyze data, learn from that data, and make decisions or
predictions. For instance, an ML system can learn to identify fraudulent transactions
by analyzing past transaction data.
Deep Learning is a subset of ML inspired by the structure of the human brain. It uses
layers of artificial 'neural networks' to learn from vast amounts of data. While a ML
model might require manual feature extraction, DL models learn features directly
from the data.
Language Learning Models (LLMs) are a part of AI focused on understanding and

generating human-like text. They analyze the structures in languages and generate
new content based on this analysis. ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is an example of
an LLM. It's designed to generate human-like text responses.
AI in Accounting
The role of AI in accounting is growing as firms seek to increase efficiency, reduce

errors, and gain insights from their data. AI can automate routine tasks, freeing up
accountants to focus on strategic activities. For instance, AI systems can process
invoices, receipts, and transactions much faster than a human can.
Machine Learning can take this a step further, using past data to make predictions
about future financial trends or identify anomalies that might suggest fraud. Deep
Learning can process vast amounts of data, including unstructured data like text, to
provide insights into market trends and customer behavior.
Language Learning Models and tools like ChatGPT can automate customer service,
provide instant responses to client queries, and even assist in interpreting and
generating financial reports.
To conclude, AI and its subfields are not just concepts of the future, but realities of the
present. Accountants who embrace these technologies can expect to see significant
increases in productivity, efficiency, and strategic decision-making capabilities.
Throughout this course, we encourage an exploratory mindset. AI is a rapidly

evolving field, and staying up-to-date requires curiosity, a willingness to learn, and
adaptability. So, as you proceed, remember to question, experiment, and innovate.
Let's embark on this exciting journey together.
CHAPTER 2: AI AND MACHINE LEARNING (ML)
2.1 Basic Concepts
At its most basic, Machine Learning (ML) is a type of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that
provides computers with the ability to learn from and make decisions based on data,
without being explicitly programmed to do so.
Imagine you are trying to teach a child how to identify a dog. You will probably show
the child several pictures of different dogs and say, "This is a dog." After seeing
enough pictures, the child will start recognizing dogs even in pictures they have never
seen before. That's similar to how machine learning works. You feed the machine (the
'child') a lot of data (the 'pictures') and tell it what the data represents (the 'dog').
Over time, the machine learns to identify new data that fits the learned patterns.
2.2. Four Types of Machine Learning (ML)
There are Four main types of ML: Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning, and
Reinforcement Learning.
1. Supervised Learning: The model learns from labeled data, i.e., data with both
input and the corresponding output. Once trained, the model can predict the
output for a new input. A common example
is a spam filter that learns from emails
labeled as "spam" or "not spam." It is called
Supervised learning because the process of
learning from training data can be thought
of as a teacher who is supervising the
learning process.
2. Semi-Supervised Learning: Most of the real-world data lie in this category as
labeling data is time-consuming and
domain experts. Problems where a large
amount of input data and only some of the
data is annotated are called semi-
supervised learning problems. e.g., A large
dataset of images in which some are
labeled, and some are not.
3. Unsupervised Learning: The model learns from unlabeled data by finding

patterns or structures within it. A
common example is a customer
segmentation model that groups
customers based on purchasing
behavior. There is no teacher to
supervise. This approach is mainly
used to dive deeper into data
analysis.
4. Reinforcement Learning: This is a learning method where an agent learns to

make decisions by taking actions in an
environment to maximize rewards. An
example would be a chess-playing AI
that learns optimal moves by playing
many games and improving from its
mistakes. The algorithm tries to
maximize the reward or minimize the
risk, and in this way, it learns.
AI has been transforming the technology landscape in various ways. From automating
mundane tasks to enhancing decision-making processes, AI's potential applications
are vast and growing. For instance, AI-powered chatbots are now commonly used in
customer service to handle routine queries, freeing up human agents for more
complex tasks.
2.3 Machine Learning in Finance and Accounting
Machine learning can bring significant benefits to the accounting industry, as it

can handle small to medium volumes of data with ease and learn from it to
improve over time. Let's consider a few applications.
1. Fraud Detection: ML algorithms can learn to identify patterns indicative of

fraudulent transactions by training on historical transaction data. They can
analyze millions of transactions in real-time and flag suspicious ones for review.
Case Study: PayPal uses machine learning algorithms to combat fraud. The
algorithms analyze vast amounts of data, including customer's transaction history
and device location, to predict and identify fraudulent activity. PayPal's machine
learning system has helped the company to halve its fraud rate to 0.32% of
revenue, significantly lower than the 1.32% average for other major online
retailers.
2 Risk Assessment: Lenders can use machine learning to predict the likelihood of
a borrower defaulting on a loan. ML algorithms can consider a wider variety of
data points than traditional credit scoring, potentially leading to more accurate
risk assessments.
Case Study: JPMorgan Chase uses machine learning (COIN Software) to automate
the process of analyzing legal documents and determining loan risks, which has
improved efficiency and reduced loan-servicing mistakes. COIN has saved the
bank over 360,000 hours of manual review time.
3 Customer Segmentation: Financial institutions can use ML to segment their

customers based on their behavior and preferences, allowing for more targeted
marketing and product development.
Case Study: MasterCard uses ML algorithms to analyze millions of data points to

create customer segments, which they then use to offer personalized services and
offers to their customers. MasterCard's more targeted marketing strategies
reportedly led to an increase in customer engagement and spend.
4 Personalized Financial Advice: Robo-advisors use machine learning algorithms

to provide personalized financial advice and investment strategies based on a
customer's financial situation and goals.
Case Study: Wealthfront, a Robo-advisor, uses machine learning to offer
personalized investment advice and automate trading for its users. Wealthfront
manages over $20 billion in assets as of 2020. The automation of advisory
services has allowed for scalability and cost reduction.
5 Algorithmic Trading: Machine learning can be used to build models that predict
market behavior and execute trades automatically. These algorithms can process
a wide array of market data much faster than a human trader.
Case Study: Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund, uses machine learning

algorithms for high-frequency trading, analyzing real-time market data to make
trading decisions. Renaissance Technologies' Medallion Fund has generated an
average return of 66% per annum (before fees) from 1988 to 2018, highlighting
the profitability of its algorithmic trading.
6 Regulatory Compliance: Machine learning can help automate and streamline

compliance tasks by analyzing internal data and regulatory text. It can also help
detect potential compliance issues before they become a problem.
Case Study: Deutsche Bank uses ML to ensure compliance. It has employed

machine learning to read and understand regulations and legal documents,
reducing the time spent on compliance. Deutsche Bank's implementation of AI in
compliance is projected to reduce labor costs by 30%, representing millions in
potential savings.
7 Invoice Management: ML can automate the processing and categorization of

invoices, saving time and reducing errors. It can also predict which invoices are
likely to be paid late or not at all.
Case Study: Ocado, an online supermarket, uses machine learning to

automatically manage their invoices. The technology predicts which invoices are
most likely to be paid late, allowing the company to manage their cash flow more
effectively. Ocado reported that their machine learning system helped reduce late
payments, improving cash flow management. Exact savings are not publicly
disclosed.
8 Audit Automation: ML can streamline the audit process by automatically

reviewing and validating transactions. This can reduce the need for manual
checks and potentially uncover anomalies more effectively.
Case Study: KPMG has developed machine learning algorithms to automate the
auditing process. These algorithms are capable of identifying irregularities and
potential risks in financial statements, making the auditing process more efficient.
KPMG's machine learning system in auditing can analyze a larger dataset in
shorter time, leading to an estimated 20% reduction in time spent on data
collection and analysis.
9 Forecasting and Predictive Analytics: Machine learning can analyze historical

financial data to predict future trends, such as sales or revenue. This can assist in
budgeting and financial planning.
Case Study: Google uses machine learning in Google Cloud for demand
forecasting. This helps in understanding consumer demand patterns and in
making efficient budgeting decisions. Google Cloud’s demand forecasting has
helped multiple retail clients increase sales by up to 20% and decrease cost of
goods sold by up to 50% by optimizing inventory.
10 Chatbots: Financial institutions are increasingly using chatbots for customer

service. These chatbots use machine learning to understand customer queries
and provide accurate responses, improving service efficiency and customer
satisfaction.
Case Study:
HDFC Bank introduced EVA (Electronic Virtual Assistant) in 2017, India’s first AI-
driven banking chatbot, which can answer millions of customer queries across
multiple channels instantly. EVA has answered over 100 million queries from
around 20 million customers, with a success rate of 85%.
These above figures used in case studies provide a general idea of the potential cost
savings and efficiency gains achievable with machine learning. However, the actual
figures can vary.
In conclusion, Machine Learning is transforming the finance and accounting industry

by improving efficiency, enabling better decision-making, and enhancing the accuracy
of predictions and detection methods. These are just a few examples, and the
possibilities for future applications are vast.
CHAPTER 3: DEEP LEARNING (DL)
3.1 Basic Concepts
Deep Learning (DL) is a subset of machine learning that mimics the workings of the
human brain in processing data. If you think of Machine Learning as a child who
learns from pictures, Deep Learning is like a teenager who starts asking questions
about the picture. Instead of just identifying what's in the picture, DL will consider
the context, details, and even hidden meanings.
This is made possible by the use of artificial neural networks, which are designed to
recognize patterns. They interpret
sensory data through multiple layers of
processing, similar to how our brains
recognize and understand complex
patterns.
Deep Learning, a subset of Machine

Learning, is based on artificial neural
networks, specifically, a type called Deep
Neural Networks. These networks are
termed "deep" because they have several
(often many) layers of artificial neurons,
or "nodes," between the input and output
layers. These layers are known as hidden
layers.
An artificial neuron takes in one or more inputs, applies a mathematical

transformation to them (using a method called an "activation function"), and
produces an output. When you combine many of these neurons in layers, you get a
deep neural network. These networks can learn complex patterns in data, making
them particularly effective for many AI tasks.
One key area where deep learning shines is Natural Language Processing (NLP), the
technology underlying AI models like ChatGPT and Bard. NLP enables machines to
understand, generate, and respond to human language. It involves several tasks such
as sentiment analysis, text summarization, language translation, and more.
Deep learning algorithms, like recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and transformers,
have proven particularly successful in NLP. For instance, transformers, which are the
foundation of models like GPT and Bard, are great at understanding the context of
language over long passages, something that was challenging for earlier models.
Below you will find a basic comparison between Deep Learning and Machine
Learning:

3.2 Deep Learning in Finance and Accounting
Just like Machine Learning, Deep Learning has the potential to transform finance and
accounting in many ways.
1. Financial News Analysis: Deep Learning can analyze and predict market
trends based on financial news. RavenPack uses deep learning for news
sentiment analysis, which can reportedly increase prediction accuracy by up
to 20%.
2. Bankruptcy Prediction: Deep Learning can be used to predict bankruptcy

and financial distress. Researchers at the University of Coimbra used deep
learning to predict corporate bankruptcy with a reported 92% accuracy rate.
3. Intraday Stock Price Forecasting: Deep Learning can be used for predicting
intraday stock price movements. Alpaca, a fintech company, uses deep
learning for intraday price forecasting, which reportedly increases the
accuracy of predictions, leading to higher returns.
4. Personalized Banking: Banks like BBVA use deep learning to offer

personalized advice and product recommendations, reportedly improving
customer engagement and cross-selling by up to 30%.
5. Real-time Analytics: Deep Learning can analyze real-time transactions to

detect anomalies. PayPal uses deep learning to analyze transactions in real-
time and minimize fraud, reportedly saving the company hundreds of millions
of dollars annually.
6. Mortgage Risk Assessment: Deep Learning can assess the risk associated
with mortgage loans. ZestFinance uses deep learning to assess mortgage risk,
reportedly reducing default rates by up to 25%.
7. Insider Trading Detection: Regulators like the SEC use deep learning to
detect insider trading, which has reportedly increased the detection rate of
illegal activities and saved millions in potential losses.
8. Automated Accounting: Companies like Smacc use deep learning for

automated document and invoice processing, reportedly reducing manual
labor by up to 80%.
9. Tax Fraud Detection: Deep learning can be used to detect tax evasion and
fraud. The IRS uses deep learning to detect fraudulent tax returns, reportedly
preventing billions of dollars in fraudulent refunds.
10. Financial Risk Modeling: Deep Learning can be used to model and predict
financial risk. FICO uses deep learning for risk modeling, reportedly improving
the accuracy of risk predictions by up to 50%.
11. Complex Predictive Analytics: While ML can predict future sales from past
data, DL can take it a step further by considering more complex patterns and
variables. DL can use vast amounts of data from diverse sources, including
unstructured data like social media sentiment, economic indicators, or
weather forecasts. By interpreting this data, DL can provide more accurate
predictions about financial trends.
12. Automated Document Interpretation: Accountants deal with various types

of documents. DL can automate the process of interpreting these documents,
reducing the time required and increasing accuracy. For instance, it can be
used to analyze complex legal agreements or lengthy financial reports and
extract the most crucial information.
13. Analyzing Financial Markets: DL can analyze and interpret vast amounts of
financial market data, including trading volumes, pricing data, and news
articles. By doing so, it can provide insights into market trends and even
predict future market movements. Hedge funds and investment banks are
using DL to gain an edge in the financial markets.
Another two practical examples of DL in accounting:
 BlackRock's Aladdin: Aladdin is an investment management platform that

uses DL to analyze vast amounts of data from diverse sources. It provides risk
analytics, trading, and operational tools that help investors make informed
decisions.
 Ernst & Young's AI for Audit: EY uses DL to analyze large volumes of
structured and unstructured data relevant to audits. It helps identify risks and
anomalies, providing valuable insights to auditors.
The exact savings or improvements in performance can vary greatly depending on

many factors such as the implementation, data quality, and business context.
Additionally, many companies may not publicly disclose specific numbers related to
cost savings or revenue increase due to the use of deep learning technologies.
Deep Learning can greatly enhance the value accountants deliver to their clients. By
automating complex tasks and providing more accurate predictions, DL enables
accountants and finances to focus more on strategic decisions and advisory roles,
thereby evolving the profession to new heights.
CHAPTER 4: LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL (LLM) AND CHATGPT
4.1 Basic Concepts
Large Language Models (LLMs) are a subset of AI that focus on understanding and
generating human-like text. They use machine learning algorithms to learn the
structure, rules, and patterns of languages. This learning allows them to generate
new, meaningful sentences or text blocks, understand the context of a conversation,
and even answer complex questions.
ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is an example of an LLM. It's a chatbot that generates

human-like text based on the input it receives. Think of it as an extremely intelligent
conversation partner that can discuss a wide range of topics and provide useful
insights or assistance.
What are the Large Language Models (LLM’s)?
Large Language Models (LLMs) are a type of machine learning model specifically
designed to understand and generate human-like text. They're trained on vast
amounts of text data and can predict or generate the next word in a sentence given
the words that came before it.
An LLM like GPT-3 (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer 3) is related to generative

AI because it falls under the category of generative models.
In the context of AI, "generative" refers to the model's ability to generate new content.
In more technical terms, generative models are trained to learn the true data
distribution of the training set so as to generate new data points with some variations.
In the case of LLMs, they're trained on large corpora of text, enabling them to generate
coherent and contextually relevant sentences, paragraphs, or even entire articles.
LLMs have a broad range of applications, from drafting emails, writing code,
answering questions, tutoring, translating languages, creating written content, and
more.
However, it's important to note that while LLMs like GPT-3 can generate impressively
fluent and contextually coherent text, they don't truly understand the text in the way
humans do. They're statistical machines that predict the next word based on patterns
they've learned during their training.
Below is the evolutionary tree of modern Large Language Models (LLMs) from
the year 2018 till the year 2023 to trace the development of language models in recent
years:
How Generic Language Model predicts next word?
Understanding the mechanics of these models will help in later sections when we
delve into specific transformer models like GPT and Bard.
Ever wondered how Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT or BARD predict the
next word in a sentence?
Let’s take a peek under the hood of these impressive language models!
When given a sentence like “The cat sat on […]”, the process unfolds in a few steps:
When given a sentence like “The cat sat on […]”, the process unfolds in a few steps:
1. Tokenization: The sentence is split into tokens (often corresponding to

words or parts of words).
2. Embedding: Each token is converted into a numerical vector using an

embedding, grouping words with similar meanings closer in this high-
dimensional space.
3. Contextualization: The Transformer model processes these embedding in

order, refining the representation of each word based on its surrounding
context.
4. Prediction: Finally, the model used the last word’s vector to predict the next
word, presenting a probability distribution over all possible words.
So, in our example, the model might predict “the”, “a”, “it”, or “floor” – any plausible
word to follow “on”.
4.2 What is the Generative AI?
Generative AI is a subfield of AI and

DL that focuses on generating new
content, such as images, text, music,
and video, by using algorithms and
models that have been trained on
existing data using ML techniques.
4.3 GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer) and Bard are powerful AI models
designed to generate human-like text. They both leverage the transformer
architecture, which provides context-aware language generation capabilities.
GPT, developed by OpenAI, has been trained on a diverse range of internet text. It is
a large-scale, unsupervised, language model that generates paragraphs of text. It can
answer questions, write essays, summarize texts, translate languages, and even
generate Python code. To use GPT effectively, you send it a prompt or a question, and
it returns a generated continuation of the text.
LLM development using pre-trained API’s like ChatGPT is all about ease and
accessibility:
 You don’t need to be an ML expert
 No collection of training examples
 No time spent training models
Just focus on creative prompt design
In the context of generative AI, a prompt refers to the input the user provides to the
generative models. Prompts are critical in defining the nature of the task that you
want the AI model to perform. For example, you could prompt the model with a
question like "What is the capital of India?", a command like "Translate 'Hello, world'
to Marathi", or even a request for a longer piece of content, like "Write a short story
about a robot who loves accounting."
Prompt Engineering is the process of designing and refining these prompts to get
the most useful responses from a model. This often involves specifying the format you
want the answer in, providing the model with context, or using certain keywords or
phrases that the model is likely to respond to in the desired way.
For example, instead of prompting the model with "Tell me about climate change,"
which is a bit vague, you could engineer the prompt to be more specific and
contextually rich: "Provide a summary, suitable for high school students, about the
causes and effects of climate change and the measures being taken to combat it."
Prompt engineering is an essential skill when working with AI language models, as
the right prompt can often mean the difference between getting a barely relevant
answer and an insightful, detailed response. It can take some practice and
experimentation to get it right, as it involves understanding how the model was
trained and how it generates responses.
4.3 How ChatGPT is different from Other LLMs?
While there are a number of other LLMs trained using similar-sized data sets,
ChatGPT has simply run away with almost all the public attention. There are a few
reasons for it:
1. Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF): OpenAI

researchers trained another neural network from the labeled data to learn
human preferences. Now, this new neural network could be used at scale to
fine-tune the GPT-3 models to prefer one response over another. This
technique is called reinforcement learning for human feedback. OpenAI
released a model called InstructGPT which was the precursor to ChatGPT. This
additional layer of safety allowed OpenAI to expose the LLMs more freely.
2. Iterative Development and Deployment: OpenAI follows an iterative

approach for refining and developing ChatGPT, releasing several versions with
incremental improvements. Each version is honed based on user feedback and
real-world performance, ensuring a continuously improving system.
3. User-Generated Prompt Dataset: While most LLMs learn from a massive

corpus of internet text, ChatGPT has an additional advantage. OpenAI utilizes
a dataset of prompts from users of the Playground and the ChatGPT app for its
training, though stripped of personally identifiable information. This unique
dataset allows the model to understand and generate human-like responses
better.
4. Use of the "AI Dungeon" data: OpenAI used data from the "AI Dungeon"
game, where the model was a game master, for training. This unique and
dynamic dataset provided the model with various complex scenarios to learn
from, giving it an edge over other models.
5. Robust Moderation Tools: OpenAI implemented a two-step process to

minimize harmful and untruthful outputs. This involves RLHF and the use of
the Moderation API, which warns or blocks certain types of unsafe content.
This approach to safety and ethics further sets ChatGPT apart.
6. Scale and Accessibility: ChatGPT has been deployed at a scale that is

unmatched by most other LLMs. It has been made accessible to millions of
people through the ChatGPT app and other OpenAI services, fostering a broad
user base and varied applications.
7. Commercial Success: The commercialization of ChatGPT through a

subscription pricing model showcases its viability as a useful tool in real-
world scenarios. It's one of the few LLMs that has seen successful
monetization, marking a significant milestone in AI development.
8. Community Engagement: OpenAI has actively engaged the user community

in improving and refining ChatGPT. It has sought public input on AI in
education, system behavior, and deployment policies, and has begun efforts to
solicit public feedback on topics like system behavior, disclosure mechanisms,
and deployment policies. This community-oriented approach strengthens the
trust in and the development of the system.
4.3 LLM and ChatGPT in Accounting
In accounting, LLMs and ChatGPT can be quite beneficial. Let's delve into a few
potential applications.
 Automated Customer Service: Accounting firms often get routine inquiries

from clients, such as questions about their invoice or the status of their
account. A chatbot trained with LLM, like ChatGPT, can handle these routine
inquiries, freeing up time for human staff to handle more complex issues. For
example, an accounting firm could implement a chatbot on its website to
provide instant responses to common client queries.
 Financial Report Generation and Analysis: LLMs can be trained to

understand financial jargon and generate readable summaries of complex
financial reports. Similarly, they can analyze a company's financial reports and
highlight key points of interest or concern.
 Assisting in Decision-Making Processes: LLMs can analyze vast amounts of

data and present it in a user-friendly way, assisting accountants and CFOs in
making informed decisions. They can provide data-backed answers to
complex financial queries.
4.4 Case Studies
Here are some real-world applications of LLM in the financial sector:
 Ernst & Young's Tax Chatbot: EY developed a chatbot that provides instant
responses to tax-related queries. This has reduced the workload on their
human staff and improved customer service.
 JPMorgan's LOXM: JPMorgan has developed an AI program named LOXM that
can read and understand financial jargon. It can draft briefings for clients and
traders, helping them understand complex financial matters.
 ChatGPT in Financial Advising: Some financial advising firms have started

using ChatGPT to provide initial advice to clients based on their financial
history and current financial status.
To sum up, Language Learning Models, including ChatGPT, can significantly improve
efficiency and customer service in the accounting industry. By automating certain
tasks and providing data-backed insights, they can help accountants focus more on
strategic and advisory roles.
CHAPTER 5: CHATGPT IN ACTION
5.1 Getting Familiar with ChatGPT

As professionals in the financial field, interacting with technology is vital to your
workflow. ChatGPT can be a powerful tool to enhance your daily activities and
productivity. Setting up a ChatGPT account is straightforward.
1. Setting up a
ChatGPT account:
The first step towards

leveraging ChatGPT is to set
up an account. You'll need
to visit the official website
Navigate to the OpenAI
https://openai.comand
sign up using a valid email
address. Once you've
confirmed your account via a confirmation email, you're ready to use ChatGPT.
Great! Now you can start using ChatGPT. But you also need to know what the
app is like. Let us learn about it next.
2. Familiarizing yourself with the User Interface (UI):
The user interface of ChatGPT is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly.

Above figure shows few Examples, Capabilities and Limitations of ChatGPT.
ChatGPT can maintain the memory of the previous context thanks to its few-shot
learning capability. Few-shot learning is a type of machine learning technique that
enables models to learn new concepts or tasks with very limited labeled data and
has become an important area of research in the field of artificial intelligence.
ChatGPT allows the user to provide follow-ups or corrections during the

conversation, without the need to provide the context once again.
Below are the guidelines/tips for interacting with AI language models like
ChatGPT to avoid undesirable outputs or "hallucinations”:
 Be specific and clear: Make sure your prompt is well-defined and clearly
states what you are looking to achieve. This will help the model generate
more focused and relevant responses. A prompt such as Tell me about the
world would probably not generate great results. Provide sufficient
context: The more context you can provide, the better the model will be
able to understand what you are looking for and generate a response that
is relevant to your needs.
 Avoid ambiguity: Avoid using vague or ambiguous terms or phrases in

your prompt, as this can make it difficult for the model to understand what
you are looking for. Use concise language: Keep your prompts as concise
as possible, while still providing enough information for the model to
generate a response. This will help ensure that the model generates
focused and concise responses.
 Be mindful of the training data: ChatGPT has been trained on a large

corpus of text, and it may generate responses that are biased or inaccurate
based on the patterns in that data. Be mindful of this and consider adjusting
your prompts if you suspect that the model is generating responses that
are not appropriate or accurate.
 Correct Errors Promptly: If you see the model generating incorrect

information or not following your instructions, don't hesitate to correct it.
The model doesn't learn from one interaction to another, but pointing out
the mistake in a follow-up prompt can help it generate better responses in
that conversation.
 Set Expectations: If you're looking for a particular format or depth of

response, specify this in your prompt. For instance, if you're asking for a
summary of a book, clarify if you want a brief overview, a detailed plot
breakdown, or character analyses.
 Use Reinforcing Prompts: If the model isn't getting your prompt, try
rephrasing or providing additional context. Reiteration can often help the
model understand better.
 Understand its Limitations: As advanced as it is, ChatGPT is not perfect

and there are things it does not do well. For instance, it can't access real-
time or personal data, doesn't understand images or other non-text inputs,
can't make predictions about the future, and it doesn't possess emotions
or beliefs. Knowing these can help you frame your prompts better.
 Requesting Specific Styles: You can ask the model to generate text in a
specific style, or from a particular perspective. For example, you could ask
it to respond like Shakespeare or explain a concept as if it were a children's
book. Just remember the more complicated the request, the more difficult
it can be for the model to comply accurately.
 Chain-of-Thought (CoT): Google researchers Jason Wei et al. have

introduced a new technique called CoT prompting to improve the
reasoning abilities of LLMs. The method divides intricate problems into
smaller, manageable steps, which enables language models to solve
complex reasoning tasks that cannot be handled by conventional
promoting approaches.
Remember, the model's aim is to assist, inform, and engage based on your
prompts, so the clearer and more specific you can be with your requests, the
better the results will generally be.
5.2 Understanding Prompt Design
A critical aspect of effectively using ChatGPT lies in understanding the importance of

prompt design. A prompt is the initial input or question you pose to ChatGPT to guide
its response.
For instance, if you're looking to produce a financial analysis report, your prompt
could be as simple as, "Generate a financial analysis report for XYZ company based on
the following data…"
The relevancy and consistency of the results you get from ChatGPT highly depend on
how well you've crafted your prompts. A well-designed prompt has sufficient context,
is clear, and uses straightforward language.
Zero-, one-, and few-shot learning – typical of transformers models
Understanding the learning patterns of GPT-4 can also help in formulating effective
prompts. They have been trained on a huge amount of data and have had their
(billions of) parameters configured accordingly.
one way to customize an OpenAI model and make it more capable of addressing
specific tasks is by fine-tuning. Fine-tuning is the process of adapting a pre-trained
model to a new task.
In fine-tuning, the parameters of the pre-trained model are altered, either by

adjusting the existing parameters or by adding new parameters so that they fit
the data for the new task.
This is done by training the model on a smaller labeled dataset that is specific to the
new task. The key idea behind fine-tuning is to leverage the knowledge learned from
the pre-trained model and fine-tune it to the new task, rather than training a
model from scratch.
Fine-tuning is a proper training process that requires a training dataset, compute

power, and some training time (depending on the amount of data and compute
instances).
That is why it is worth testing another method for our model to become more skilled
in specific tasks: shot learning.
The idea is to let the model learn from simple examples rather than the entire
dataset. Below are the principles of zero-shot, one-shot, and few-shot learning:
1. Zero-shot learning: This refers to the ability of the model to provide

responses without having seen any specific examples during its training. For
example, if you ask ChatGPT, "What is the current corporate tax rate in India?"
it will generate a response based on its internal models, even though it may
not have been specifically trained on Australian tax law.
2. One-shot learning: This term means that the model can learn from just one
example. You could use this by giving one example along with your prompt.
For instance, you could say, "Write an email to a client about the upcoming
audit, like this: 'Dear [Client's name], we are scheduling the annual audit…'"
3. Few-shot learning: This means the model can learn from a few examples. If
you're asking ChatGPT to draft a similar email to multiple clients, you could
provide a couple of examples, and it should be able to generate more.
Being mindful of hidden bias and ethical considerations when interacting with
ChatGPT is crucial. This AI model has been trained on vast amounts of data from the
internet, which means it could potentially reflect the biases present in those data. It's
essential to scrutinize the information it provides and ensure that it meets your
professional and ethical standards.
Shot-learning possibilities are limitless (and often more useful than Simpy) – it’s only
a matter of testing and a little bit of patience in finding the proper prompt design.
By understanding these principles and considerations, you can design effective

prompts, yielding relevant and consistent results while maintaining high ethical
standards.
5.3 Boosting Day-to-Day Productivity with ChatGPT
ChatGPT is designed to simplify your professional life. Let's delve deeper into how it
can specifically help accountants, financial analysts, CFOs, and other finance
professionals.

financial analysis, or even an email, ChatGPT can help. You just need to
provide a prompt, and it will generate a coherent and well-structured
response. This could save you a lot of time, especially on routine writing tasks,
and allow you to focus more on strategic tasks.
 Organizing Agendas: For professionals who juggle multiple meetings,

keeping track of agendas can be a challenge. ChatGPT can assist by helping to
create and organize meeting agendas. Simply provide some information on
the meeting's purpose, attendees, and key topics, and ChatGPT will provide a
structured agenda. This way, you can ensure that your meetings stay on track
and productive.

intelligence known as Language Learning Models (LLM) to understand and generate
human-like text. ChatGPT can comprehend complex prompts, maintain the context of
a conversation, and provide detailed and coherent responses, making it an effective
tool for automating a range of tasks.
6.2 The Role of ChatGPT in Indian CA Firms
ChatGPT can be a game-changer for Indian CA firms in several ways. Let's explore
some of the potential applications:
 Client Services: CA firms often get routine inquiries from clients. A chatbot
like ChatGPT can handle these inquiries effectively, providing instant
responses and freeing up time for human staff. For instance, a client might ask,
"What is the status of my tax return?" ChatGPT could be programmed to pull
this data from a secure database and provide the client with an update.
 Internal Communication: ChatGPT can be used to automate internal

communications. For example, it could handle routine HR queries like, "When
is my next leave?" or "What's the process for expense claims?"
 Report Summarization: Understanding complex financial reports can be

time-consuming. ChatGPT can be trained to extract key information from
these reports and present it in a simple and easy-to-understand format.
6.3 Case Studies: ChatGPT in Action
Let's consider a hypothetical scenario in which an Indian CA firm uses ChatGPT:
Case Study 1: Client Inquiry
Case Study 2: Summarize the checklist for Activity
Case Study 3: Tax Regulations
Case Study 4: Data Analysis
Prompt: "ChatGPT, after analyzing the sales data for our client, can you provide some
insights on their best-selling products in the last quarter?"
ChatGPT's response: "Based on the sales data, the best-selling products for the last
quarter were Product A and Product B, accounting for 35% and 30% of total sales
respectively. Sales peaked in the first month of the quarter, indicating effective
promotional activities. However, sales of Product C have been declining, suggesting a
need to reassess its market demand or pricing strategy."
Case Study 5: Advisory Services
This example shows how ChatGPT can simplify complex financial information and
