India to play key role in EY's push for proprietary AI language models

EY will leverage its global delivery unit in India, home to most of its tech staff, to lead development of proprietary language models for tax, audit and accounting services

India can become a critical cog in the wheel for EY to build its proprietary language models that will help in areas such as tax, audit, and accounting, two senior executives from the firm’s global delivery business (GDS) said.

 

Just like other areas, tax and accounting are not immune to the impact of artificial intelligence (AI). Enterprise language models, trained on client or synthetic data, can help accounting firms perform tasks easily and thus improve efficiency and productivity.

 

“Our intent is to build a large language model and we started in that process,” Raj Sharma, global managing partner, EY, said
