As more people turn to artificial intelligence for help with everyday tasks, from planning workouts to picking outfits, financial experts say many are now wondering whether AI can also help manage their money.<\/p>\n
Experts say the answer is yes, but with caution.<\/p>\n
Sam Taube, lead investing writer for NerdWallet, says AI can be a useful tool for budgeting, tracking spending, and organizing finances, but it should not replace human decision-making when it comes to investing or major financial choices.<\/p>\n
\u201cAI is useful as an assistant, not as an advisor,\u201d Taube said.<\/p>\n
According to Taube, AI tools can help users:<\/p>\n
Categorize spending <\/p>\n
Build budgets <\/p>\n
Identify recurring subscriptions <\/p>\n
Create charts and savings plans <\/p>\n
Generate lists of investments based on selected criteria <\/p>\n
However, experts warn users should be careful about the information they share with AI systems.<\/p>\n
Before uploading financial documents or entering personal information into an AI platform, consumers are encouraged to:<\/p>\n
Review privacy and data retention policies <\/p>\n
Opt out of allowing AI systems to train on personal data <\/p>\n
Remove or redact bank account numbers and sensitive information <\/p>\n
Avoid relying on AI for specific legal, tax, or investment advice <\/p>\n
Financial experts say AI tools can sometimes miss important nuances involving tax laws, legal issues, or complex financial planning.<\/p>\n
They stress that AI should be viewed as a support tool, not a financial cure-all.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a machine responding to the information you do and don\u2019t provide,\u201d Bill Spencer said during Tuesday morning\u2019s report.<\/p>\n
As AI continues becoming part of everyday life, experts say consumers should balance convenience with caution when using it to handle sensitive financial information.<\/p>\n
