Trintech CFO Omar Choucair said upskilling staff is vital as AI agents gain more agency. He warned CFOs fear rogue agents disrupting financial reporting. Choucair asked whether firms have controls to govern AI agent use. Many CFOs hesitate because they know the risks of missing a number. Ungoverned AI has caused cost spikes and compliance issues for many firms. Trintech launched three new AI agents for financial close processes. These agents shift from surfacing insights to executing work. Choucair stressed that even autonomous agents need strong guardrails. He expects a wave of data-savvy hires in the next 12 to 24 months.
