They preferred to spend hundreds of hours of senior professionals’ time… At around $500 an hour… On tasks that AI could complete in minutes. Trust me… even if in my pocket… the money does not pay to waste your time like that… These were some of the best professionals in the country. The client did not trust them. It did...
If you thought that nothing could be worse than yesterday example, let me tell you something. Again, the UK. NMC Health was a FTSE 100 company. It operated hundreds of healthcare facilities across the Middle East. It was worth billions. And every year, EY audited its accounts. Seven years. Seven unqualified audit opinions.
