 Sept. 12, 2024 | Today’s news and insights for finance leaders | With generative AI still stealing the spotlight, keeping up with new technologies is on everyone’s minds. However, CFOs need to walk a careful line between risk and reward — balancing the true potential of new technologies, while resisting overspending on mere hype. Achieving that balance requires careful coordination between the CFO and CIO. CFO Dive is pleased to announce an upcoming virtual (and free) event, the CFO-CIO Bridge to a Lasting Tech Foundation, which will explore just how CFOs and CIOs can tackle these challenges. Join the CFO and CIO Dive editorial teams and industry experts on Oct. 30 between 1-5PM ET, to learn more about how to prioritize technology investments, the best ways CFOs and CIOs can collaborate to avoid business disruptions and navigate challenges — such as new and emerging cybersecurity threats — and, of course, the promises and traps of generative AI. Register for the event here! |
