The aircraft maker’s Americas unit is digitizing the approval of expense reports and payment of invoices

Airbus SE is using artificial intelligence to squeeze cost out of its finance function, an experiment launched in the aircraft maker’s Americas division that could save the corporation millions of dollars annually if rolled out in other regions.
