Which AI agents are you most likely to work with at Circle? Any agents that are really going to support the quality of data. I truly believe – and will scream it from the rooftops – that procurement is a data centre. The data that we collect is fed throughout the organisation, whether that’ s accounting for their accruals and amortisations of pre-paids, for finance, for budgeting or if it’ s for the business just to understand their performance.

All of that is centrally housed within procurement and it’ s our job to be good data stewards. AI has the opportunity to unlock that and bring it to the next level through really data scrubbing and data validation.
