For the past few years, most of us asked one question about artificial intelligence: what can it do for us? A weightier question has taken its place: what is it doing on our behalf, and can we prove it?
AI has moved past the role of an assistant. Systems that once drafted a memo or flagged an anomaly now open tickets, move money, approve transactions, and complete multi-step tasks across the business with limited human input.
