Purpose and Scope:
This document provides guidelines for presenting the cash flows generated from or used in AI operations. It ensures that stakeholders understand how AI activities impact the liquidity and cash position of an entity.
1. Principle of AI Operating Activities:
- Cash inflows and outflows from primary AI operations, such as revenues from AI products and expenses for AI research, should be clearly outlined.
2. Principle of AI Investing Activities:
- Cash flows related to the acquisition or disposal of long-term AI assets, like AI startups, proprietary algorithms, or data sets, should be presented separately.
3. Principle of AI Financing Activities:
- Cash inflows and outflows from financing activities directly related to AI, like raising capital for AI projects or repaying AI-focused debt, should be distinctly presented.
4. Principle of AI Licensing and Royalties:
- Cash flows from licensing AI technologies or receiving royalties from AI patents should be disclosed.
5. Principle of AI R&D Cash Flows:
- Expenditures on AI research and development, whether capitalized or expensed, should be highlighted to show the entity's cash commitment to AI innovation.
6. Principle of AI-Related Tax Cash Flows:
- Cash flows related to tax credits, deductions, or liabilities specific to AI operations or incentives should be presented.
7. Principle of AI Contingencies:
- Potential cash outflows related to AI contingencies, such as pending litigations or regulatory fines, should be disclosed, even if their exact timing or amount is uncertain.
8. Principle of Disclosures:
- The statement should transparently disclose significant assumptions, policies, and risks related to AI cash flows, giving stakeholders insight into potential future liquidity impacts.
Updates and Amendments:The AIASC 230 guidelines will be reviewed and updated periodically to reflect advancements in AI technology, emerging best practices in AI cash flow reporting, and feedback from stakeholders and the public.
Note: This is a fictional representation and does not represent any real-world standard for AI. The development of such standards would involve extensive consultations with experts, stakeholders, and the public. Fictional representations simplify complex AI concepts, stimulate discussion, envision future scenarios, highlight ethical considerations, encourage creativity, bridge knowledge gaps, and set benchmarks for debate in fields like accounting.
