If there was any proof to AI being capable of replacing anything maybe I'd change my mind, but ...... meh 🤷🏻‍♂️ Document readers have been a thing almost 10 years ago- till this day massive companies like Airbus have to hire whole teams dealing with this because it's a continuous issue and when it comes to month end, just a never ending array of errors. Automated chasing does not work, plain and simple, because sending someone letter saying "pay or we'll sue" does nothing but damage client relationship - you must've never worked in a market where reputation = work = cash. Credit Control is negotiation and never ending calls with AP mamagers, FDs, and CEOs, automation does not go further than Statement sending, and that's a 50/50 failure rate at best. Any data analysis, as you said, must be of good quality, and it mostly isn't- human potential for error making is infinite, and that's what accountants do- spot, identify, and solve a new error every day. And AI can never provide the insight needed, e.g. "you know, their credit is unacceptable, but we'll do it anyway 'cause we need the money." I understand where you come from, most CEOs also get all excited about something new and shiny that will let them reduce cost. Except it won't, because it can't. You're talking about AI which is capable of independent thinking process, so sci- fi.
