Although there are a few ways to mitigate the risk, the only way to block it is to get AI to differentiate instructions from data, which is impossible today.
Financial software is one of those things that companies just don’t update for decades. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if somebody had started handing off a bunch of their payroll or accounting reporting to an AI instead of just updating to a newer software with more features.
I have worked in regulated industries for a long time. I guess it cannot be properly automated because laws change all the time (like every other month because some politician got a stupid idea and you have to start from scratch once again). That would be why we have companies dedicated to handling finances, taxes, and laws.
Anyone using AI for a financial report deserves exactly what they asked for.
