AI-Specific Content
When writing about AI capabilities in fintech/ERP:

- Reference real use cases: anomaly detection, cash flow prediction, invoice classification
- Address data privacy concerns (especially around UAE PDPL, Saudi PDPL)
- Frame AI as augmenting human decision-making, not replacing finance professionals
- Connect to GCC AI strategies (Saudi SDAIA, UAE AI Strategy 2031)
