What do ice cream sales, shark attacks, and AI in treasury have in common? More than you might think, according to this week’s podcast guest. In this eye-opening episode, James Kelly, founder of Your Treasury and former corporate treasurer at Pearson, helps us separate AI fact from fiction.
James shares his personal journey from AI sceptic to advocate, recounting the moment he realised AI could compress weeks of Excel work into minutes. He also offers a refreshingly honest take on where AI truly adds value in treasury operations – and where it is being oversold.
From debunking myths about data readiness to questioning the wisdom of AI-powered fraud detection for most corporate treasuries, James explains why focusing on everyday automation might be more valuable than chasing headline-grabbing AI applications.
Whether you’re already experimenting with AI or still wondering where to start, this episode offers clear guidance on building a practical, transparent approach to AI implementation that actually delivers value.
