Three-quarters of finance leaders face pressure to adopt AI despite oversight concerns

A Datarails survey of 270 US finance leaders has found that 76% face high or very high pressure to fully implement artificial intelligence, despite significant concerns over accuracy, auditability, and costs. Nearly all CFOs spend at least 10% of their workday reviewing or correcting AI-generated outputs, while 32% devote between 26% and 50% of their time to oversight. The research also found that 84% of CFOs control their organizations’ AI budgets, with 32% reporting AI spending overruns of at least 10% during the previous year. Nevertheless, 53% plan to expand AI licenses over the next 12 months, while 60% are redeploying employees to higher-value activities rather than cutting jobs. Trust in autonomous AI remains limited, with just 23% comfortable using it for revenue forecasting without human review, falling to 4% for month-end closing tasks, highlighting the continuing importance of human oversight in financial operations.
