AFP Member Roundtable | What Works, and What is the Future of Work, With AI

In finance, AI is making a real impact, not through  flashy demos, but in how work is prioritized, roles are redefined, and judgment is exercised. This roundtable cuts through the noise to highlight where AI has delivered real, measurable value for FP&A members—and where initiatives have quietly stalled due to data, skills, or operating-model gaps. The discussion explores how AI is changing career paths, elevating the importance of critical thinking, and shifting value from producing numbers to interpreting and acting on them. The focus is on practical lessons for building finance teams where technology amplifies, not replace, human insight.

AFP Member Roundtable | AI Ready Treasury

Artificial intelligence is already reshaping treasury—from machine learning that improves forecasting and fraud detection, to generative AI that enables natural-language data queries, to agentic AI that automates decisions within preset parameters. For AFP members, the question is not whether to adopt AI, but where to start and how to prioritize. In this roundtable, participants will work through a practical framework for evaluating AI opportunities by identifying high-friction treasury processes, assessing data readiness and access controls, selecting use cases with measurable outcomes and manageable judgment risk, and establishing governance that ensures results are explainable, secure, and operationally integrated.
