Nitesh warned, "If you wait to get started, you'll be behind the curve." 🤖 And he couldn't have been more right. In just one year, AI has evolved at an unprecedented pace. According to Forbes, AI is expected to see an annual growth rate of 37.3% from 2023 to 2030. The implications for finance teams are enormous, and the time to act is now. 🚀 Don't miss out-register now and make sure you're not left behind in the AI revolution! 👉 Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/ehvwenCy
