Quote

[06:23] - "The one reason to be hesitant [about AI] is surrounding things like security and privacy. That should always be your first and foremost concern. I’ve seen advisors talk about things like ‘oh, I did this with my client’s information in ChatGPT.’ That’s an open protocol, that other parties have proven they can actually extract other peoples’ personal information from, so you should not be doing that flat out…If you are going to work with any kind of protocol…or any kind of AI, security has got to be a first and foremost, paramount concern especially when we are talking about client data." ~ Jason Pereira
