"Finance chiefs are signaling the next big evolution-2026 will be the year of enterprise-scale AI. Pilot programs and proofs of concept are giving way to avenues for full-scale deployment as CFOs expect AI to deliver measurable value: faster decisions, leaner operations, and predictive insights that can provide a competitive edge. However, that level of transformation comes with new demands- governance, data integrity, and human oversight matter more than ever."
"In covering AI, I've spoken with CFOs across industries who are focused on value creation and developing real-world use cases for AI to reshape everything from forecasting and financial planning to strategic decision-making. As data moves faster than ever, finance leaders are asking a new question: not what AI could do, but how it can truly transform the enterprise. I've also talked with industry experts and researchers about topics ranging from the ROI of AI to "prompt-a-thons"."
AI is transitioning from experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment within finance, with 2026 marked as a pivotal year for broad adoption. CFOs are prioritizing value creation through real-world use cases that reshape forecasting, financial planning, and strategic decision-making. Organizations expect AI to deliver faster decisions, leaner operations, and predictive insights that yield competitive advantage. Full-scale transformation requires robust data governance, data integrity, and human oversight. Finance leaders must manage nuanced AI portfolios that balance pilots and proven rollouts while investing in process redesign and ongoing maintenance to ensure AI strategies remain agile and durable.
