According to experts, AI is already automating difficult tasks and enhancing human abilities. It is predicted that AI will lead to the discovery of new miracle cures and the development of personal robots, resulting in increased global productivity. While many business leaders are aware of AI's potential, there is a knowledge gap when it comes to understanding how generative AI tools work and the best ways to implement them. CFOs are implementing AI, but only around half of them claim to be knowledgeable about Gen AI.

This lack of knowledge is particularly prominent when it comes to using AI in finance, with the majority of CFOs admitting to understanding very little about it. This knowledge gap is not limited to CFOs, but it is crucial for them to familiarize themselves with AI as they lead the implementation of AI tools in their companies. Integration of AI with emotional intelligence is seen as pivotal for future CFOs. However, the rise in CFO job postings requiring AI knowledge indicates its importance in the role.
