How can defense financial management professionals prepare to leverage data with advanced technologies—such as AI—while remaining compliant?

Opportunities to leverage data continue to expand rapidly with advanced technologies, and with that comes potential risks and compliance concerns. The CFO Council has identified key areas surrounding data and technology as key to modernizing the FM workforce over the next 10 years. This panel discussion will bring together subject matter experts with boots on the ground to explore the benefits and pitfalls in navigating this new frontier.
