Why Off-the-Shelf AI Doesn't Understand Money — Udi Menkes, Intuit
Udi Menkes from Intuit explains why common AI models do not understand economics and money in a deep way.
They can provide fluent answers to financial questions, but lack understanding of the unique aspects of your business or what happened when similar companies made the same decisions. Intuit's own financial AI models are trained on data from over 100 million customers and perform better than general models while being faster. Menkes discusses how true economic intelligence goes beyond just reporting what has happened — it should help you make better decisions, or even make them for you.
