Computer says yes | Does AI really know best?

from The Monday Call · host New Zealand Funds Management Limited

Ask different AI models who is the best KiwiSaver provider or investment manager and get a potpourri of different answers. All confident. Most contradicting each other. AI is likely recycling whatever’s loudest online. Yet there’s no single 'best' - only the best for you, with your goals and your circumstances.Richard Conway, CEO of The Optimisers and a leading voice on AI and search optimisation, is an authority on how these models reach their conclusions. The implications go far beyond retirement savings; AI is now influencing how people choose accountants, lawyers, power companies, even doctors.Join the Monday Call team as we speak with Richard about what this means for investors, advisers and consumers alike. There’s no debate AI is powerful and convenient, but should we hand over how we make important decisions? Or does good advice really require care, context and judgement – and an understanding of what matters to you?
