Industry data tells us 79% of advisers are already using AI - but more than one-third cite inaccurate outputs and limited integration as barriers to getting more value from it*. So, what does AI adoption really look like across Australian wealth businesses, where is it delivering value, and what do advisers need next?
Iress, in partnership with Signal Advisory, is conducting new research to understand how Australian wealth professionals are using AI today, the challenges they’re trying to solve, and where they see the greatest opportunities for the future of advice.
The findings will help shape how AI can best support the needs of the advice community and inform how Iress thinks about the future of AI-enabled advice and the continued evolution of Xplan.
