Workday CFO: AI/ML Can Automate Finance, But Creativity Still Key for Finance Teams

Workday CFO Zane Rowe sees AI/ML as an opportunity to automate mundane finance tasks and drive efficiency.

Peer CFOs are inquisitive about AI and want to understand where it can add value, not pull back on spending.

Top goals for incorporating generative AI include reducing costs, improving customer experience, and boosting productivity.

Rowe seeks finance team members who can think creatively and outside the box about using AI.

U.S. employers added a stronger-than-expected 336,000 jobs in September, showing a still-tight labor market.
