Much has been written about the recent development of AI chatbot ChatGPT which can write stories, answer questions and provide fascinating facts for its users.

The next stage is how the app can be put to productive use and whether it can be used to provide financial advice.

Forget the impact of the Quality of Advice Review, if this goes app becomes a mainstream proposition, advisers are wondering whether they will be usurped by an robot which can bring down the time and costs of their work.
