AI isn’t replacing financial advisors. But I do think it’s changing what clients should expect from us.
Information used to be part of the value. Today, anyone can ask AI a financial question and get a detailed answer in seconds.
So the advisor’s role has to go further.
Is that answer actually correct? Does it apply to your situation? What might it be missing? And, most importantly, what should you actually do with it?
That’s where I think the value of advice is heading.
Technology can give you information. It can help advisors work faster and more efficiently. But it doesn’t know your family, your business, your history, your priorities, or how you tend to make decisions when life gets complicated.
My hope is that AI makes advisors more human, not less, spending less time gathering information and more time understanding the person sitting across the table.
AI may make information cheaper, but it doesn’t eliminate the need for advice.
It raises the bar for what good advice really looks like.
