TL;DR
Only 29% of Canadian financial advisors use AI for actual financial planning, and 68% of Canadians believe AI cannot understand emotional financial decisions. Being intentional about AI adoption is not falling behind. AI does not threaten what makes advisors valuable (empathy, wisdom, personal attention). It threatens what makes them busy (documentation, scheduling, data entry).
