Artificial intelligence (AI) has been making headlines worldwide with ChatGPT and Gemini changing the way we search for information.
Personal finance, however, is a sensitive area and has led many money experts to ask the question: will AI replace financial advisors?
If you’ve recently looked into managing your money online, you may have hit several issues, including:
- Information overload from the countless budgeting apps and money-saving hacks out there
- A lack of personalized financial guidance from this data overflow
- No way of knowing how to reach financial goals, be it saving for a dream vacation or a property down payment.
The AI universe is set to revolutionize how we deal with our money. Machine-learning tools that can process enormous datasets and identify patterns we miss will help us to make informed decisions, manage risk, and save hours of time.
This progress hasn’t been lost on the general public. Answering financial questions is the second-most popular AI use case from people who have used the technology, according to a recent Forbes survey.

So, just how life-changing is this technology that sits before us? Will AI replace financial advisors as we know them?
Let’s take a closer look.
What if you had 24/7 access to expert financial help? Maly’s AI financial assistant is just that, an intuitive money management tool that’ll help you spend better and save smarter.
Is there a future for financial advisors?
Artificial intelligence is scarily good at answering questions, to the point that many people are asking questions like “Will robots replace human financial advisors?”
The simple answer to this is “no”.
Personal finance is a complex topic that affects everyone differently. Human financial advisors bring a unique blend of expertise, empathy, and nuance to the table that helps people find the best solution for them.
These experts are better placed to create a personalized roadmap and deal with complexities that AI can’t handle.
The best way to think of AI is as a powerful assistant that frees you from tedious tasks and quickly offers you readily available information.
A human advisor, meanwhile, is more of a trusted partner who can guide you toward making the smartest financial decisions according to your personal situation.
Which financial tasks will AI help us with?
Will AI replace financial advisors? No, but it is about to help us with a broad range of everyday money-related tasks.
One way of seeing it is as a highly capable sidekick that saves us time and money. “AI’s primary goal isn’t to eclipse human capabilities or render them obsolete,” says Cambridge University lecturer and former Research Fellow Alejandro Reynoso. “It’s to act as a catalyst, augmenting human creativity, and potential.”
Let’s assess several key financial tasks and how AI will affect each one.
Savings
New AI finance tools are intuitive, meaning they can analyze your income and spending habits to give you personalized savings goals.
Some platforms even provide automated transfers to help you do this without thinking. Maly’s savings tool is one example: it automatically rounds up every purchase you make (even if it’s only one or two AED) and puts it in a chosen savings pot (or debit card). Many customers report suddenly having their target amount way before they expect it.
An AI assistant can also keep track of what you spend and then advise you on what to cut back on. This might include flagging unnecessary subscriptions or identifying big spending categories.
Budgeting
Forget boring spreadsheets. AI will make budgeting a fun experience, even using games to plan your finances.
Imagine an AI assistant that sets challenges – with instant feedback – for sensible planning. This might include completing progress bars, earning badges, or even unlocking rewards for achieving financial milestones.
The virtual assistant will update your tasks as you go along, too, so you’re always on the fastest track to reaching your targets.
Investment
As mentioned, AI won't replace financial advisors, but it will become a powerful sidekick.
Think of an AI assistant who researches companies, analyzes risk profiles, and suggests investment options to suit your goals and risk tolerance.
Alejandro Reynoso believes this can even help us explore new terrain, previously only available to trading experts. “AI can facilitate new investment strategies, some of which were previously considered too intricate to conceptualize,” he says. “Robot integration into human-run platforms will give us access to unprecedented speed, precision, and sophistication – a realm once limited to only a select few industry leaders.”
Risk management and fraud detection
AI can also act as a guardian of your money.
Already, ML algorithms monitor your accounts for suspicious activity, including unusual spending patterns, fraudulent transactions, and even predicting future financial risks.
This can help you prevent financial losses and safeguard your hard-earned money – something we all must do.
Fast, intuitive, and educational, AI financial assistants hold the keys to a better financial future for all of us, if we use them wisely.
