Q: Where do you see the balance between using AI to automate and maintain the essential human touch in client relationships?
AI can handle the numbers and repetitive tasks, but the relationships, explanations tailored to clients, and the trust built with them remain the differentiator. The focus should be on leveraging AI to augment the human advisor, not replace the advisor's core value.
