Data platform costs drift when ownership is unclear and consumption lacks accountability. Tagging and dashboards work only with clear decision rights, turning spend into action and reinvestment. @kearney Link bit.ly/4cwcWsR via @antgrasso

Global data use can create local compliance pressure. When storage, access, and processing cross borders, companies need clearer controls to keep operations reliable and avoid delays caused by fragmented rules. Microblog @antgrasso #DataSovereignty #CloudGovernance

#AI, #AIAgents, and #AgenticAI for Finance and Accounting professionals’ #DigitalPlaybook was the theme of the deliberations covered in this #83rdVideo of my personal #YouTuhe Channel. I delivered the session in a webinar for the India Chapter of @The Financial Executives Networking Group, Inc. (The FENG) on March 27, 2026. The video is available at youtube.com/watch?v=gavs0Noh…

A product can reach high levels of quality and efficiency, yet without traceability it remains exposed to replication. Blockchain introduces verifiable provenance into supply chains, making authenticity part of the product, limiting counterfeits. Microblog @antgrasso

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how companies read market signals, turning data into foresight for sales and marketing decisions. Predictive approaches support clearer planning, better alignment with demand, and earlier, more confident action. Microblog @antgrasso #MarTech

AI is exposing a gap between what organizations expect and what people can sustain over time. Closing it means linking skills with cognitive well-being, otherwise pressure builds and execution weakens. Source @McKinsey Link mck.co/4bwEluw via @antgrasso

This comparative information comes on the back of the rise of #GenerativeAI (#GenAI) assistants such as #ChatGPT, Claude, and, more recently, OpenClaw’s Clawbot, which rely extensively on continuous access to information. The startling information is: § AI-driven traffic increased 187% between January and December last year. § The report states that with the rise of these #AIAssistants, bot traffic will decisively surpass human activity by 2027, § This will mark a fundamental transformation in how the internet operates. The report revealed that: § #OpenAI’s bots, including ChatGPT User, OAI SearchBot, GPTBot, and ChatGPT Agent, accounted for roughly 69% of all AI-driven traffic in 2025. § #Meta contributed about 16% through Meta-ExternalAgent, while § #Anthropic accounted for around 11% via ClaudeBot and Claude-SearchBot. This means that a few organisations shape the overall traffic exposed to #AIAgents. Measuring the AI-Driven Internet with The 2026 State of AI Traffic humanprod.wpenginepowered.co…

AI already frees about five hours of work per person each week. Much of that time still disappears into low-value tasks, because workflows evolve slower than the technology that accelerates them. Source @Gartner_inc Link gtnr.it/40rpsDm via @antgrasso

Wow CREATIVITY at it BEST

Imagine this: a #CA who qualified way back in 1979, standing in front of the #Top5RankHolders of the January 2026 CA term, leading two deep-dive sessions of 3 hours each on “Digital Transformation with #AI, #AIAgents, and #AgenticAI.” At first glance, it might sound hallucinating. But the truth is, it happened. On March 30–31, at the IIM Kozhikode, I had the privilege of serving as guest faculty for a #MDP titled “#NextGenFinanceLeader: Ideas, Influence, and Impact.” To me, this wasn’t just an academic engagement. It was a bridge across generations, connecting the thoughts of someone who passed CA 47 years ago with the energy and curiosity of today’s brightest minds. Together, we explored how finance leaders of tomorrow can harness the power of AI not just to crunch numbers, but to shape ideas, drive influence, and create lasting impact.
