Supporting the reluctance to &#8220;hand over the keys&#8221; completely.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By <a href=\"https:\/\/spendmatters.com\/author\/guest-contributor\/\">GUEST CONTRIBUTOR<\/a> &#8211; From the fiction of \u2018WOPR\u2019 in the 1980s film &#8220;War Games&#8221; to the terrifyingly real&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1983_Soviet_nuclear_false_alarm_incident\">almost-apocalypse of 1983\u2019s Soviet nuclear false alarm incident<\/a><\/strong>, humanity has plenty of reasons to be fearful of the consequences of putting computers in charge. Perhaps that explains our wariness of ceding control to <strong>artificial intelligence<\/strong> (<strong>AI<\/strong>) in a host of much more run-of-the-mill processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this reluctance to hand over the keys \u2014 of a self-driving car, a business or even missile silo \u2014 betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of how <strong>AI<\/strong> is designed to work. Too often<strong> AI <\/strong>is presented as it is in dystopian fiction, as an overlord, when it\u2019s actually more like a workhorse<em>,&nbsp;<\/em>and a highly effective one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Change your mindset, forget about relinquishing complete control, and you\u2019ll soon discover that <strong>AI<\/strong> can give you a competitive advantage in areas of your business you barely gave a moment\u2019s thought to before, like the sometimes unglamorous world of invoice processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One might be forgiven for not getting overly excited about the intricacies of invoicing, but that\u2019s precisely the point. Processing invoices is a time-consuming and repetitive task. It\u2019s also notoriously prone to mistakes and human error that require manual review and reprocessing for reasons ranging from a mismatch between invoice and purchase order (PO), to errors with invoice coding. Accounts Payable (AP) teams currently spend around a quarter of their time chasing and correcting errors. Even the most dyed-in-the-wool data entry clerk will tell you there are more valuable things they could be doing with their time. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?rct=j&amp;sa=t&amp;url=https:\/\/spendmatters.com\/2021\/06\/29\/accounts-payable-how-to-show-artificial-intelligence-whos-boss\/&amp;ct=ga&amp;cd=CAEYByoUMTEwNTY0MDAxNjU1ODQwMTA5NjYyGjQ3N2UyZTUxNmVmMWQ0Nzk6Y29tOmVuOlVT&amp;usg=AFQjCNHautmtr2f0bBp-WUxRUgUwEyystw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read On:<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An interesting article that says the right things for the most part.
