Personalisation At Scale Solves Advice Shortages
- AI will enable personalised advice at scale, solving the supply-demand gap in financial advice.
- It augments advisors so firms can serve more clients without cookie-cutter delivery.
Bake AI Into Daily Workflows
- AI should be embedded in workflows, not just used as one-off tools like ChatGPT.
- When AI rides shotgun it becomes an invisible assistant that improves everyday work.
