His belief that in a rapidly changing world, audit companies They are necessary and have an important role to play, as artificial intelligence cannot replace them, expressed the Kyriakos Pierrakakis.
Among other things, the Minister for Economic Affairs and Finance stressed that auditors and audit firms are «reliability guards» at a time when both the volume and complexity of data are increasing, while as Kyriakos Pierrakakis said to companies and employees «There is no threat to your profession» And that makes them irreplaceable in the chain of responsibility.
The need for even greater speed in the world of digitization was noted by Kyriakos Pierrakakis at the meeting of the Committee on Accounting Standardization and Audits (ELTE) on the subject: «The Next Gen Audit: Innovation, Quality, and AI».
He stood on sweeping changes already brought artificial intelligence into the labour market, saying that many professions will be created, many professions will be threatened by this transition and by this equation, with particular emphasis on the role played by audit companies and employees in them.
«The changes that Artificial Intelligence will make to everything It is such that we experience one historical change which we do not fully metabolize. I would say that this is also the vocabulary not only of the economy, which you asked me and where you mentioned earlier. That must also be the vocabulary of politics. We, as political majors, ministers, governments, political parties. Public debate must take place in the future and not in the past.. And certainly not at the centre of political competition, the same concerns the professions as yours..
And I'd say that In general the controller is accountable and the controller is checked and himselfSo there is no threat to your profession and this element makes you irreplaceable in the chain of responsibility. An explanation will never be requested from a large language model, from an LLM if drifted into professional press anortographs. They will be asked by you, by the controller. That is your decisive advantage. You have moral and legal standing as natural persons. Expose and control.
And, therefore, just because you know that you are controlled and that you are accountable, you can maintain in full and inalienable - with the help of technology, with the help of Artificial Intelligence - the validity, responsibility, independence and validity of your decision and signatureEven though in a world that changes rapidly. I would say let alone a world that changes rapidly.
I would also like to add that more widely in Greece of development, because this is the reality, we have a double growth rate from the European average, despite international challenges and despite the problems, which are obviously there and are pending to be resolved.
Closes the gap, but Greece has a way
Reporting the digital transformation of the country, The president of the Eurogroup pointed out that Greece has covered in recent years an important part of the distance between it and the advanced digital countries, with the peak of gov.gr and the thousands of digital services now offered to citizens and businesses, and noted that the country continues its efforts to digitise critical functions of the State, using the resources of the Recovery Fund.
At the same time, he said the government so far has digitized the services that produce most bureaucracy and the greatest inconvenience for the citizenBut at the same time «We also know, as a country, how many procedures we need to digitize. There are about 5,500 services, the extroverts to businesses and to citizens.».
According to Kyriakos Pierrakakis, many systems, now, due to the Recovery Fund will be delivered within the next few years, while the State acquires ERP, for the first time in such depth.
He stressed that «the revolution which is already here and which we are discussing concerns the fourth Industrial Revolution, i.e. the convocation of digital with the physical and biological sphere, και είναι συστήματα τα οποία εκ των πραγμάτων είναι τελείως διαφορετικά από αυτά τα οποία παρήχθησαν στις προηγούμενες δεκαετίες. Γιατί είναι σκεπτόμενα»
