Everybody is experimenting with AI, in treasury and across the business. Treasurers tell of how they are teaching themselves, often in their spare time, how to master the curious mix of art and science of getting useful results from AI LLM models and educating themselves on the development of AI technologies in general. In particular, prompt engineering, and coding skills have caught the attention and imagination of treasurers who seek to fine tune treasury applications, most notably cash forecasting, for more accurate results.

Treasurers talk of how they are, often clandestinely, experimenting with AI possibilities, sometimes in a vacuum of vague AI policies in terms of permissions and applications in the business. Here treasures shed light on their AI experimentations and developments and even suggest some AI tips and tools to take away.
