    AI vs. The Human Financial Planner:

    AI vs. The Human Financial Planner: Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries, but can it truly replace the human touch in financial planning? In this episode of Something More with Chris Boyd, Chris is joined by Jeff Perry and Russ Ball to explore the pros and cons of using AI for personal finance.
