In the latest episode of "Accounting for AI: The Autonomous Finance podcast," Mark Fisher and Jessica Sadow look at the profound influence AI is projected to have on global productivity and GDP. Specifically, they dig into what it means for CFOs and how they can translate these projections into tactics for their finance departments.
From efficiencies observed in accounting, to the staggering investments in technology, and predicted economic shifts, they dissect the looming transformative wave in the financial sector.
While AI will undoubtedly change the field of finance, it won’t happen on its own. The human touch will be equally as important in realizing the promise of AI productivity gains.
