Just don't see it happening.

Lot of emotional intelligence in planning.

AI will just make planners better.

People raised in an age of recession prefer to bank in person because they are comforted by seeing the place their paycheck and deposits go each week.

Financial robots have been used in companies for a long while. The analysis of personal data and big data will be the doorway for robots to enter personal finance.

Can a robot provide life planning or financial therapy? Doubtful. Keep trying, bud.

Genuine financial planning has so much overlap with therapy. Helping people make the most of their lives with the money they have, is the job. This site needs to seriously reevaluate this ranking.

All the best,
Mr. Planner.

My financial planner coaches me on life steps and how that will impact my money. These so called Robo advisors just shoot out a boring allocation like a target date fund.

The markets are unpredictable, and require insight into human nature to understand - something that computers lack.

Personal financial planners must provide customized plans that fulfil personal needs. The process involves engaging and inspiring and educating the may not be easily replaced by robots or preprogrammed systems.

How can financial planning be automated when it is about building relationships and connecting with people? It'll be a dark day in hell when I have to review my portfolio with a robot. Risk of automation is 0% in my book.

Real financial planning requires a high degree of emotional competence and coaching. Financial planning is far beyond the numbers. One of the biggest value-adds of developing a long-term relationship with a financial planner is setting goals, learning about your values, and defining the life you want to live. These are responsibilites that cannot simply be automated. Just take a look at people's current financial situation across the US and the world. Everyone knows they should be saving more, yet few do. A financial planner is an accountability partner and coach. I do not see this ever being automated.
