In this episode we're talking about ethics in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Rumblings about the future of AI have been surfacing as well as questions about whether human biases are affecting the decisions AIs are making. Those questions are finding their way into our profession. A recent Accounting Today article reports a growing number of accounting service solutions are using AI for a wide range of applications. The accounting profession has spent $1.5 billion on this type of software in 2021 and is projected to spend $53 billion by 2030, according to a report from Acumen Research & Consulting. The Accounting Today article notes that despite this rapid growth, "too little attention has been paid to the ethical considerations that come with it". Sage's CTO, Erin Harris says in a quote, "The current issues are less to do with the accidental creation of a robot overlord and more about the insertion of human biases into the code". The main issue is not the technology in it of itself, it is our human biases impacting the way the technology works. Biometric Update, recently published an article listing the 6 key considerations for ethical AI in financial services:Fairness & biasTrust & transparencyPrivacyAccountabilitySecuritySocial benefitsThe author, Matt Peake, writes, "If just one of these fails, it can have series consequences for individuals and businesses". However, the upside is that there are groups developing AI committed to the betterment of our world. I speak with today's guest, Enrico Palmerino, Founder & CEO of Botkeeper, about the role of ethics in AI, the types of biases in AI, how we can protect ourselves and our clients from these biases, and what the future marriage of AI and human intelligence looks like.

Hot dog stands, energy drink distribution, custom ping-pong balls—Enrico Palmerino has run about every kind of business you can imagine. His ventures attracted him to data analysis, which eventually led him to found his current tech startup, Botkeeper, an automatic bookkeeping solution for accounting firms, powered by AI and machine learning. On this edition of Founders Journey, Enrico tells us about his early beginnings and how he ended up creating a lighting company in college that pulled in over $8 million in revenue by his senior year.

New technologies, such as cloud computing, have made entrepreneurship more possible than ever. But as more and more people are becoming CEOs and developers, fewer and fewer are becoming accountants—services that are sorely needed to make operations function. Enrico Palmerino encountered this problem with his own startup. “Our accounting department just couldn't keep up with the growth or the complexities of the business,” Enrico says. He eventually discovered a large part of the problem was the lack of technology solutions in this field. This led him to found Botkeeper, an automated bookkeeping service for accounting firms powered by AI and machine learning. On this edition of UpTech Report, Enrico discusses how he's using this advanced technology to give the accountants more time to focus on their clients.

This podcast interview focuses on product innovation that has the power to solve the demand/supply gap in the accounting industry. My guest is Enrico Palmerino, CEO of Botkeeper.Enrico’s background has been in automation, decision trees, and accounting with a triple major from Babson College in Quantitative Methods, Entrepreneurship, and Strategic Management. While in college he co-founded ThinkLite which automated lighting analysis, design, and manufacturing. ThinkLite grew from dorm room to 46 on Inc's 500 List. A a result of that, Enrico was ranked 2nd among America's Top 25 Entrepreneurs Under 25 by Bloomberg Businessweek. After successfully exiting ThinkLite, he invested in a small accounting firm, joining as the company's Managing Director, and helped grow it from 7 to 40 people in the 3 years. Beyond this he advises, consults and invests in several startups.Botkeeper caught my eye by its claim to create the future of bookkeeping, and this triggered me to invite Enrico to my podcast. We explore what’s inhibiting the accounting industry to transform, and why the combo of blending tech and people in the right way is the secret to a better future. We also discuss Enrico’s vision to what it takes to build a remarkable software business.Here are some of his quotes:There are two big problems that we're trying to solve in the accounting space:The one being, just there's a major shortage of people to do the work.The huge supply demand gap and by the numbers, at least in the US, you got exponentially more businesses forming year over year.And then if that wasn't bad enough, the other challenge you have is in many industries there's been this over amplification of all these little micro niche apps for the accounting sector. All those apps don't talk to each other, which means more siloed data sets that require more manual entry, and an unpleasant experience.So the big problem we're trying to solve is two things. It's, how do we automate as much of the basic pre accounting or compliance accounting and bookkeeping work? And then how do we consolidate the app stack [to] free up the limited supply of accountants that are out there, to do more critical thinking, consulting, advisory, and complex accounting.During this interview, you will learn three things:How, by looking at the big picture “app-stack” of our ideal customers we can find major opportunities for remarkable productivity improvementsThat to solve the shrinking workforce problem we see in many industries we need to approach the problem from a different angle to really solve it.How to orchestrate 3x growth in a market of “Late Adopters” by creating a pull effect.
