Companies invest in AI for finance, but concerns over skills and unpredictability persist.

AI is transforming the finance and tech sectors, but concerns about its impact persist. Companies like Salesforce and PayPal see AI as crucial for enhancing customer service and decision-making, while Visa and Microsoft are fostering AI skills in Nigeria's fintech sector. However, IT leaders are anxious about integrating AI due to a lack of skills and clear guidelines. Some fear AI could automate up to 60% of jobs within a year. To fully leverage AI, businesses need to rethink workflows and invest in upskilling their workforce. Meanwhile, AI job postings are rising in Hong Kong, with wages growing in AI-related industries. Despite skepticism, tech leaders are accelerating AI capabilities and embedding these skills into existing roles.
