A new article co-authored by CARF Senior Researcher Dr. Meral Ahu Karageyim and CARF Board Member Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ali Çoşkun has been published on Qorus Global.
Artificial intelligence is transforming financial services, from customer interactions and personalized banking to investment advice and risk management. But beyond automation and efficiency, an important question remains: Can AI-powered chatbots and robo-advisors help people become more financially literate?
In the article, the authors explore how these technologies could contribute to financial education and support better financial decision-making and a better understanding of investment products.
Key insights highlighted in the article:
- Accessibility and democratization: Chatbots and robo-advisors can provide accessible, interactive, and personalized financial information at relatively low cost.
- Personalization at scale: AI can adapt information and guidance to customers’ needs, potentially helping them better understand financial concepts and investment opportunities.
- From information to education: Their potential extends beyond answering questions and automating investments. When designed with educational features, these tools can help customers develop financial knowledge and evaluate financial risks, especially for younger generations.
- Learning by doing: Interactive learning modules, scenario-based simulations, educational dialogues, and real-time nudges could help customers understand investment risks and the potential consequences of their decisions.
Chatbots and robo-advisors should not be evaluated solely as investment tools. They should also be considered potential mechanisms for financial education.
The opportunity lies in embedding financial education into the investment process—helping customers not only make financial decisions, but also understand why they make them.
As AI continues to reshape financial services, how can we ensure that technological innovation translates into genuine financial empowerment?
