Solution 1
Artificial Intelligence: - The Artificial Intelligence is a recreation of human intelligence which is administered by the machines specially the computer systems for performing an intelligent task. The administration includes the procurement of information and rules for using the procured information for reasoning and self-correction. These machines are also performing the task like voice recognition and machine vision. Artificial Intelligence was think up by an American computer scientist John McCarthy, in 1956 at The Dartmouth Conference where the discipline was introduced. It can perform the tasks like identifying the data patterns more efficiently than the humans beings that enabling the businesses to gain more understanding of their data.
Artificial intelligence is broadly classified into two types which includes the Weak AI and the Strong AI. Weak AI is the model in which the systems are trained to perform a particular task only. The Apple’s siri is the perfect example of weak AI which works on the virtual personal assistants model. Strong AI is the systems which inherited the generalized human cognitive abilities which help them to find a solution in unfamiliar task. Robotic process automation is the perfect example of strong AI. AI is a major application in the healthcare for improving the patient outcomes and reducing the cost AI is also effectively used in the business, education, finance, law and manufacturing. 
Blockchain: - is the open register on cloud based system which records the business transactions between two users when they are belonging to the same network and data is stored in a secured and verifiable place and in permanent way. The data relating to the transactions are saved inside the cryptographic blocks that are connected to each other with the help of hierarchy. This creates an endless chain of data blocks and hence it is known by the blockchain technology. The blockchain technology allows tracing and verifying of all the transactions is easy which that were ever made. Thus we can say that the primary function of a blockchain is to certify the transactions between people.
In the case of Bitcoin the most popular cryptocurrency, the blockchain serves to verify the exchange of the bitcoin between two users but it is only one of the many possible uses of this technological structure. In other sectors the blockchain is certify  that the exchange of shares and stocks are operate as if it were a notary and validate a contract or  to make the votes cast in online so that  it is impossible to alter. One of the greatest advantages of the blockchain system is its high degree of security guarantees. In fact, if once the transaction is certified and saved within one of the chain blocks then it cannot be modified or tampered. Each block of the block chain consists of a pointer that is connected to the previous block and a timestamp that certifies the time at which the event is actually took place and its transaction data.
In the current scenario the Artificial Intelligence and Block chain are used only in certain working areas in accounting. We need to make envision on intelligent systems so that they can enable better decisions in business, and understand that the how accountants can help this process. The recently emerged Blockchain is a trustless because it is the form of distributed ledger which is openly available and having negligible costs of use. The accountants are currently more trustworthy than AI and the use of blockchain is almost negligible in accountancy.
The Potential uses of the technology Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain in in the accounting and finance will eliminate the separate records keeping of every transaction receipts; companies can write their transactions directly to a joint register and then creating the interlocking system to permanent the accounting records. The entries which are entered and cryptographically sealed, intruder’s attempt to destroying them is practically impossible. It is the process which required to be verified by a notary only in an electronic way. The blockchain technology has the necessary potential to transform the nature of today’s accounting system. It may establish the way to massively automate the accounting processes and to comply with the rules and regulations of the companies.
Artificial Intelligence is the future of accounting but the accountants has to focus on purpose, exploit powerful technologies of AI and radically for the long term vision of AI. The AI and human Intelligence work together by approaching to the AI and using the strength of machine learning and overcoming the limits of AI. Accountants can use the AI for solving the accounting problems, practical challenges roles and skills and for institutional issues. 
 Solution 2
In Blockchain system of accounting all transactions are recorded in real-time and the time stamped with a unique crypto-signature. The accountant is not to worry for the completeness of financial information and records, existence of assets and liabilities and whether they are true and accurate, rights and obligations of the company, accuracy of information captured and for the record or information has been tampered or not. The combination of Artificial intelligence and Blockchain will all these problems. 
A simple example would be, let’s say a bank sells shares to another company The Bank would credit Investments and Debit Cash and the Company would debit Investments and Credit cash. In a scenario where there is a 'distributed ledger' or Blockchain, the whole transaction would be updated on the shared distributed ledger simultaneously with a timestamp and a crypto signature/digital fingerprint. Accordingly the Company cannot falsify its records to say it received more shares than it actually bought and neither can the Bank say it received more cash than it actually did. The records cannot be changed and cannot be manipulated on a back-dated basis.
The future jobs of the accountant are not much affected but the scope of work of accountants are changed from the data recording to the data reconciling pre and post of blockchain entry and the verification of documents. The accountants must possess the required skills and expertise to work in the modern culture of blockchain and artificial intelligence.
Accountants and Auditors will not need to become the engineers with detailed knowledge of how blockchain works but they will need to know at least how to advise on blockchain adoption in the accountancy and will have to consider the impact of blockchain on their businesses and clients.
Solution 3
 I strongly support arguments made by the author regarding AI and blockchain because of the following points:
· It allowed the auditor to dig deeper into the large volume of data processed by the machines.
· It eliminates the need of sampling in checking of accounting records and vouchers.
·  Machines are much better than auditors in processing of the huge amount of data.
· Auditors are become well with AI if they are bracing themselves as the author said in article.
· The security purpose solved with the use of blockchain because of the highly encrypted and secured keys.
· The accountants need not to worry for the completeness and proper recording of transaction.
· Blockchain could help the accountants to clarity over the available resources and obligations of their organization, and also free up the resources to concentrate on some important task like planning and valuation, rather than recordkeeping of transactions.
· Blockchain may enhance the accounting profession by reducing their costs of maintaining the record, and keep the reconciling ledgers records, and providing the complete certainty over the ownership life and value of assets.
· The transactions are updated simultaneously at all these blockchain points are cannot be modified by any or all persons with access to the blockchain or have access to this information.
· Blockchain creates immutable records that are resistant to tampering; frauds may still occur in blockchain system but will be captured in the records and can be easily detected.
Solution 4
Machine learning is also like an artificial intelligence which affects the day to day operations of an organization has become a buzzword in recent years. The machine learning is adopted as the proactive strategy are achieving the approximately 12.5% higher return in the finance sector. Accounting software’s are getting smarter than before, and they are performing the tasks that are earlier required to be done with human intervention. The Repetitive task, and tedious tasks are eliminated so that bookkeepers, and business owners now spend less time on keeping their accounts data up to date and spend their most of the time on other important tasks.
Accounting applications learn the coding behavior of invoice and then suggest where the transactions should be allocated. Bank reconciliations are fully automated no human intervention required and again the technology will learns from its previous allocations and account choices and then afterwards makes the right recommendations for new bank transactions.
Machine learning algorithms is the process of machine learning in which the data is automatically processed and then review to the data is made, to recognize the anomalies and compile with a list of outliers for auditors to check the complete transaction of the company. It will help the auditors from instead of spending most of their valuable time on checking the data; an auditor can apply their skills to investigating and deducing the reason behind a pattern or anomaly.
