Ep 772: AI You Can Trust: When Good Enough Isn’t Actually Good Enough

What good is AI if you can't trust it? 

Everyone's racing to do more, build more, ship more agents. But if you're scanning an AI output and say it looks good enough, that isn't actually good enough. 

Especially when it comes to your company's finances. 

If you're a CFO, a finance leader, or running an SMB where one wrong number sends everything sideways, having trust in your AI is paramount.

On today's show, we're getting into why the model alone won't save you, where finance pros should actually be spending their time now, and why most companies are thinking about AI risk backwards. 

Helping us break it down is Jeremiah Edwards, Head of Sage AI, from Sage Future last week.
