Funny you mention; There are multiple companies in Sweden working on AI/ML based accounting. It's not so different from AI/ML based automated driving.

I've seen some of those but all of the ones I've looked at also had a panel of experts who could give it a once-over (or re-work) before sending it back to the client. I'd compare it more to cruise control or driver-assist but not quite automated driving.

Well, at the core of accounting there is an accountant reviewing your accounts (annually at least) - regardless how your books are done (with exceptions for small/tiny companies). So it doesn't seem so far off to do the base work done by an AI.

I guess it's like automated driving a few years back - monitored by humans able to take over control. Step by step it'll become better and better until good enough for handle certain chosen areas.
