Chevron’s CFO on why finance chiefs are defining AI’s business value
Chevron's CFO, Eimear P. Bonner, emphasizes the critical role of finance leaders in determining the business value and strategic implementation of AI initiatives. Bonner, who previously served as Chevron's CTO, highlighted that finance chiefs are uniquely positioned to assess AI's performance improvement potential rather than just its functional capabilities. Chevron is actively integrating AI tools like Microsoft Copilot and Anthropic's Claude across its finance department for tasks such as data analysis, auditing, and forecasting, while also pursuing large-scale AI "moonshot" projects in energy exploration.
