Published 2026-09-18 · BLOOMBERG WEALTH Research Desk
Where AI can improve advisor capacity, documentation and service without replacing human accountability.
Executive brief
AI can assist with document retrieval and drafting, but plausible language does not establish the accuracy of a recommendation or a source.
Questions for due diligence
Evaluate access controls, source traceability and human sign-off. Test whether a system identifies missing facts and escalates decisions.
Scenario framework
- Base case: review the stated assumptions for ai and record which evidence would change the assessment.
- Stress case: consider weaker returns, reduced liquidity and higher costs together. An illustrative scenario is not a forecast.
