Clients' AI sidekicks press wealth managers to justify advice
TL;DR Summary
Wealth managers report a surge in clients asking AI chatbots (like Claude and ChatGPT) to vet portfolio and tax guidance, using AI as a second opinion and a tool to deepen questions and speed up meetings. While this can raise discussion quality and efficiency, it also brings risks of incorrect or hallucinated results and potential data privacy concerns. Firms say AI will augment—not replace—human advisors, potentially pushing up service expectations and prompting new safeguards and workflows.
