Description

This week, the Dynamic Duo of Robert and Toby ponder on whether AI will drive a new wave of AI-influenced M&A transactions - or not.   Certainly, 2023 has seen a 40% downturn in M&A volume globally so what evidence is there that AI will offer a stimulus and create a new wave of transactions?

It's not a simple question to answer because AI is still in its infancy, but adoption is accelerating at an alarming pace whilst regulation and legal controls are somewhat lagging and undeveloped.

The duo give this topic a good thrashing and generally come out in agreement with each other that AI WILL drive a new M&A wave.  That said, Toby is of the opinion that it might be five years away because regulatory and legal reforms have not been developed.  On the other hand, Robert believes that scrupulous organisations might force legal and regulatory controls to be adopted much quicker and the expected wave might be only one or two years away. 

Time will tell.
