# What is AI-powered invoice processing?
AI-powered invoice processing uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to automatically extract, validate, and process invoice data with minimal human intervention. Unlike traditional OCR that just reads text, AI systems: understand invoice structure and context, learn from corrections to improve accuracy over time, handle complex invoices with tables and multiple pages, validate data against purchase orders and contracts, flag anomalies and potential fraud, predict optimal approval routes, and integrate with downstream systems. AI reduces processing time by 90%, achieves 99%+ accuracy, enables touchless processing for 70-80% of invoices, and provides intelligent analytics on spending patterns. Leading AI technologies include computer vision, deep learning, and NLP.
