With all due respect, I think you are asking the wrong question. How many people were asking for an iPhone before Steve Jobs created it? How many people asked for driverless cars?
Yes, you are right about EDI. It was way too technical. But look at how you can now take a picture of a check on your iPhone and deposit that check into the bank. Some clever person thought up that idea. PriceWaterhouseCoopers predicts “Global GDP will be 14% higher in 2030 as a result of AI – the equivalent of an additional $15.7 trillion. This makes it the biggest commercial opportunity in today’s fast changing economy” https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/news-room/press-releases/2017/ai-to-drive-gdp-gains-of-15_7-trillion-with-productivity-personalisation-improvements.html What I am talking about has less to do with XBRL, more to do with the automation of accounting, reporting, auditing, and analysis processes and tasks. XBRL is simply an enabler. Cheers, Charlie > -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
