The CFO AI digest: July 3
As the volume of AI news explodes each week, it can get hard to spot what really matters. We’re here to cut through the noise and spotlight what counts for finance teams.
This week’s stories mark a shift in how AI is being operationalized across finance, infrastructure, and governance. Digital workers are moving from RPA bots to actual agentic teammates. Supply chains are getting smarter, bringing new implications for cost of goods sold (COGS) and risk, as AI-driven optimization changes how teams forecast costs, manage inventory, and model disruptions. Your data is now a tradable asset, and you might be giving it away for free. Compliance is getting more complex, with individual states rolling out their own AI laws.
For finance leaders, these stories are a call to re-architect your stack and strategy. Amid disruption lies an opportunity: those who adapt now set the pace for the future.

Introducing Ramp Treasury: Most banks hope you never see this.
Many banks make money by making their clients worse off – offering yield only if you lock up your cash with restrictions, minimums, transfer limits or brokerage sweeps.
