Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing industries across the board—and financial services is no exception. While Jason recognizes the immense potential of AI, he cautions against overhyping its capabilities. He stresses that artificial intelligence should be seen as a tool to complement, not replace, human expertise in financial planning.

Jason is particularly excited about AI’s ability to simplify complex software for users. For instance, AI-powered overlays can automate routine tasks and offer intuitive guidance to help advisors get the most out of existing platforms. Other AI applications, like transcription tools and client engagement platforms, can save advisors countless hours by reducing administrative workload.
However, Jason remains realistic about AI’s limitations.

“AI is not a panacea,” Jason says. “I think asking AI to do things it’s not good at is a sure way to get stuck. There are two issues here: first, not understanding how generative AI works, and second, trying to apply it universally. People often ask why there’s no AI financial planning tool where they can input everything and get an answer. In reality, generative AI struggles with complex tasks like financial planning, which involves factors such as yearly taxes, variable returns, income volatility, and shifting income streams—elements AI can’t yet model effectively. While this will change over time, it’s understanding of the human behavioral side of planning is something it will likely continue to find difficult.
Despite its promise, AI-powered financial planning tools are still not equipped to navigate the intricate challenges and the highly personalized nature of financial advice. Advisors using AI should remain vigilant in verifying its outputs to avoid costly mistakes and to uphold strong advisor-client relationships
