AI<\/a> to finance, supply chain or other core business processes is harder because errors carry over multiple steps, increasing \u200brisk against \u200bcompliance standards, he said. <\/p>\n“If you have \u200bsome hallucinations in the process, the \u200cerrors will actually compound statistically over many steps,” Asam said, referring to finance workflows. “It requires much more excruciating assurance levels.” <\/p>\n
The “high-hanging fruit” of AI, Asam said, is less about applying a generic plug-and-play large language model across a company than about building systems around specific businesses. <\/p>\n
That requires companies to make their own \u200cdata usable and governed, so AI can \u200boperate with the knowledge of the company. “The idea \u200bthat AI will solve all \u200bthese problems if they are messy, legacy data silos is \u200cnot true,” Asam said, adding that \u200bsuch an approach \u200bcame with “extremely high token costs.” <\/p>\n
The most advanced model is not always the right one, he said. In practice, he said, companies will use the \u200bcheapest reliable tool that \u200ccan deliver the required outcome safely, whether that is simple software, \u200ban open-source model or an expensive frontier model. <\/p>\n
