Read David Macchia's article explaining the threat to advisors posed by Ai.
"A large segment of advisors will disagree with me, but I've read the research on how humans react to human-like avatars and it is clear that Ai is a genuine threat."

"We Are Humanizing Technology To Defend You Against Ai's Mortal Threat."
There are three reasons Ai poses a mortal threat to agents and financial advisors: Economics, Psychology and Novelty. When true, human-like Ai financial advisors are introduced, likely in 2024, they will exist within an economic and business model structure that bears little resemblance to the business models that today support human advisors. For agents, this ushers in a new era of competitive threats. In order to maintain your vital role with clients and prospects, you need a UX-based defense strategy that is inclusive of artificial intelligence.
ECONOMICS
To reiterate, when human-like Ai financial advisors are introduced, they will exist within an economic structure that bears little resemblance to the business models that support human advisors. Because Ai FAs require no financial compensation, human FAs will be unable to match the economic value proposition of Ai advisory. The companies or individuals sponsoring Ai advisors will likely offer free or near-free expert financial advisory services. Moreover, the Ai financial advisor will possess a level of knowledge that no human being can match. Imagin knowing "everything:" about every investment strategy, every stock, bond, alt, REIT, annuity, mutual fund, etc.
PSYCHOLOGY
An ever-growing body of research shows that humans react to human-like avatars in the same manner that they do to other humans, exhibiting increasingly positive and empathetic responses to the Ai as it becomes more human-like. Psychologists refer to this phenomenon as the "uncanny valley" effect. According to research published in the academic journal, Frontiers in Psychology, “Human-like to human stimuli show a positive linear relationship with familiarity. Secondly, we show that expressions of emotions in human-like avatars can be perceived similarly to human emotions, with corresponding behavioral, physiological and neuronal activations.”
NOVELTY
Humans are sure to be fascinated by the novelty of interacting with human-like Ai financial advisors. It will be a novel and enjoyable experience. Annuity agents will lose clients and engage fewer prospects if they are unable to match the novelty of Ai interactions within the context of their personal brand.
DEFENSE
Agents who refuse to embrace Ai are very likely to be replaced by Ai. Agents who welcome Ai and make it a core element of their UX (user experience) will have a UX defense shield that preserves their prominent role with clients and prospects. This is the ultimate purpose of AI Annuity Assistant.
