Walter Sun:AI能够自动化许多财务工作中的重复性手动任务,例如月末和季末的账目结算。AI可以处理非结构化数据,例如来自不同部门的各种格式的数据(如电子邮件、Word文档和电子表格),将其组织成可用于簿记的结构化数据。通过自动化处理简单的客户问题,AI可以在客户服务领域显著提高效率并降低成本。生成式AI使得人们可以用更自然的方式与机器交互,从而简化流程并减少对专业技术知识的需求。 Kevin Jones:AI在财务领域最大的优势在于数据分析,它能够高效地处理大量数据并进行分析,提高效率和有效性。AI可以帮助财务分析人员探索新的模型和方法,例如重新评估投资回报率的计算方法,从而获得竞争优势。AI增强了财务分析人员的能力,而不是取代他们,它通过提供新的工具和更广泛的数据来提高决策的成功率。未来,自然语言处理技术将成为游戏规则改变者,AI将成为未来高管团队中的重要成员,参与到会议准备、决策等各个环节。 Amy Dufresne:AI可以帮助财务人员摆脱重复性任务,专注于更有价值的工作,从而提高效率并提升工作满意度。AI的应用需要对现有财务人才进行AI技能的再培训和提升。HR需要与财务部门合作,推动组织文化变革,创建安全的实验环境,减少员工对AI的恐惧,并促进员工对AI工具的学习和使用。未来,财务部门将更加注重战略性和前瞻性,而HR将继续与财务部门合作,推动AI在组织内的应用。 Walter Sun: AI can automate many repetitive manual tasks in financial work, such as month-end and quarter-end accounting settlements. AI can handle unstructured data, such as various data formats from different departments (such as emails, Word documents, and spreadsheets), and organize them into structured data that can be used for bookkeeping. By automating the handling of simple customer issues, AI can significantly improve efficiency and reduce costs in customer service. Generative AI allows people to interact with machines in a more natural way, simplifying processes and reducing the need for specialized technical knowledge. Kevin Jones: The biggest advantage of AI in the financial field is data analysis, which can efficiently process and analyze large amounts of data, improving efficiency and effectiveness. AI can help financial analysts explore new models and methods, such as reevaluating investment return rate calculation methods, thereby gaining a competitive advantage. AI enhances the capabilities of financial analysts rather than replacing them; it improves the success rate of decision-making by providing new tools and a wider range of data. In the future, natural language processing technology will be a game changer, and AI will become an important member of future executive teams, participating in various aspects such as meeting preparation and decision-making. Amy Dufresne: AI can help financial personnel get rid of repetitive tasks and focus on more valuable work, thereby improving efficiency and job satisfaction. The application of AI requires retraining and upgrading the AI skills of existing financial personnel. HR needs to cooperate with the financial department to promote organizational cultural changes, create a safe experimental environment, reduce employees' fear of AI, and promote employees' learning and use of AI tools. In the future, the financial department will pay more attention to strategic and forward-looking aspects, and HR will continue to cooperate with the financial department to promote the application of AI within the organization.
