Session: Being a CFO in the Age of AI: The Chief AI Financial Translator
In an AI company disrupting a regulated industry, my job is to speak three languages fluently: what the technology can actually do, what regulators and capital markets need to hear, and what customers are apprehensive about. That translation layer is where deals get done, and trust gets built.Key Takeaways
- 1. Know the difference between what the tech can do and what it should do right now.
- 2. Regulators and investors aren't scared of AI—they're scared of surprises.
- 3. Customers don't care about your technology—they care about their problem.
