Your free AI now has advertisers — what that changes, and what your business should actually be paying for
Every week this column shows what AI can do for a finance team. This week, what it costs. ChatGPT is now carrying advertising in a growing list of countries, on the free plan and on the cheapest paid one. Jamaica is not on that list yet, but the direction is settled, and it is a good moment to work out which plan your business is actually on

Your attacker has an AI assistant too — what a security demonstration this month means for the way you approve payments
Every week this column shows what AI can do for a finance team. This week, the other side of the table: researchers used an AI assistant sitting inside a hacked mailbox to map a company, impersonate its chief executive, find a US$247,500 wire transfer waiting for approval, and redirect it. The controls that stop this cost nothing

The invisible watermark — AI-written text can now be identified, and what that means for your business
Every week this column shows what AI can do for a finance team. This week, a change announced just days ago: Claude now embeds an invisible watermark in the text it generates, which means AI-assisted work is becoming identifiable — and the businesses with nothing to adjust are the ones that never pretended otherwise.

The risks of AI — hallucinations, data privacy, and what should never go into a chatbot
Every week this column shows what AI can do for a finance team. This week, the other side of the ledger: how these tools fail, where your data goes when you press send, and the short list of things that should never be pasted into a chat window.

AI for due diligence — how to read a 200-page document before you sign it
Every week this column shows what AI can do for a finance team. This week: due diligence for the rest of us — the leases, loan letters, and business purchases that arrive as a mountain of PDF, and how AI helps you read every page before the deadline does.

ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot — which AI assistant does your small finance team actually need?

Ten prompts that will 10x your results — and the one habit behind all of them
