From the strategies fuelling the resurgence of the M&A market, to the allure and impact of Caribbean tourism, to the transformative power of generative AI in revolutionising human-computer interactions: in our latest round up of #GreatConversations we delve into the issues that matter most.
Mid-market pickup to drive M&A rebound
The latest review of Global M&A activity by Baker Tilly International, produced in conjunction with Mergermarket, features a grim set of figures as mega-deals all but vanished in the midst of war, stubbornly high inflation, rapidly rising interest rates, fears of a recession and a slowdown in the technology sector.
But dealmakers seem ready to shrug off the doldrums of 2022 and push ahead despite the challenges.
Financiers still favour Caribbean tourism despite inflation risk
Baker Tilly’s annual Caribbean Hospitality Financing Survey showed that while confidence levels dipped by around 10 per cent for both banks and non-bank financiers in 2023, as compared to last year, they remain historically high.
It seems that no matter what happens with the international economy, the sunshine and sea breezes of Caribbean tourism will always be attractive for investment.
AI legal challenges become more complex
Gaps are emerging in the willingness of countries to accept the generative AI juggernauts such as ChatGPT, with concerns that privacy, security, intellectual property and personal rights are being put at risk by the open-source software.
For businesses, it is a case of coming, ready or not, according to Baker Tilly experts, who stress that despite the willingness of many leaders to learn about and test AI software on the web, few are really ready for the changes about to occur.
Using humans and AI to deliver smarter service
Artificial intelligence may have captured the headlines, but for businesses looking to employ AI in their work processes, it remains a complex and costly process to find the right fit. In this case study, Baker Tilly Digital experts explain how the cost and complexity shouldn’t be a barrier to the use of AI.
