What Good Looks Like: Using AI Well in Financial Advice
About this episode
AI is changing financial advice, but are you using it responsibly in your practice?
In this episode of **PROpulsion LIVE**, Francois du Toit explores how advisers and planners can bring AI into their businesses without putting clients, or compliance, at risk.
We’ll look at:
✅ Why responsible AI matters for advice firms
✅ The biggest risks: bias, data breaches, and explainability gaps
✅ How the *FPI Code of Ethics* provides a clear guide for AI use
✅ The *Crawl–Walk–Run* approach to adopting AI responsibly
✅ What “good” looks like in practice: real examples you can apply today
With new guidance from the *FSCA* on cloud computing and data offshoring , financial advisers in South Africa face stricter rules than ever before. Uploading client data into tools like ChatGPT is risky, and may soon be outright non-compliant. But that doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from AI. From drafting blogs to summarising client meetings, there are plenty of safe ways to start.
This episode is about building a client-centred, ethical approach that strengthens trust while helping you work smarter.
