Summary

European auditors and technology experts gathered in Bratislava to demonstrate how artificial intelligence (AI) could elevate public auditing to a new level. The international conference of the Supreme Audit Office of the Slovak Republic entitled Artificial Intelligence as a Tool for Progress in Audit Institutions provided insights into current challenges as well as practical tools for the use of AI in auditing practice. One of the highlights of the event was a live dialogue between the President of the Supreme Audit Office of the Slovak Republic, Ľubomír Andrassy, and artificial intelligence, which simultaneously “listened” throughout the event and collected data from the discussions in real time. At the conclusion of the conference, the AI system summarised the discussions and presented the key findings.
