In recent years, Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as a transformative development in artificial intelligence (AI), drawing significant attention from industry and academia. Trained on vast datasets, these sophisticated AI systems exhibit impressive natural language processing and content generation capabilities. This paper explores the potential of LLMs to address key challenges in personal finance, focusing on the United States. We evaluate several leading LLMs, including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude, and Meta's Llama, to assess their effectiveness in providing accurate financial advice on topics such as mortgages, taxes, loans, and investments. Our findings show that while these models achieve an average accuracy rate of approximately 70%, they also display notable limitations in certain areas. Specifically, LLMs struggle to provide accurate responses for complex financial queries, with performance varying significantly across different topics. Despite these limitations, the analysis reveals notable improvements in newer versions of these models, highlighting their growing utility for individuals and financial advisors. As these AI systems continue to evolve, their potential for advancing AI-driven applications in personal finance becomes increasingly promising.

I Asked an AI Chatbot About Personal Finance -- and Was Surprised by Its Answers @themotleyfool #stocks

#artificialintelligence

You may have noticed a lot of news stories (and tweets, for that matter) about ChatGPT -- a newly released "chatbot" from the folks at OpenAI. It's notable because it uses artificial intelligence (AI). Many people are trying it out, with interesting results. For example, one person used it to write cover letters for jobs.

How Artificial Intelligence is Impacting Personal Finance - ReadWrite

#artificialintelligence

It seems nearly everyone has been talking about artificial intelligence for years now, and one of the industries where it's gained the most attention is personal finance. A.I. is becoming so popular that many online banking users today have become used to--and even dependent on--receiving personalized insights into their spending habits, all powered by A.I. On the other side of personal finance, artificial intelligence also plays a crucial role in retail investing. An increasing number of traders depend on algorithmic trading based on A.I.s to stay profitable. In this post, I'll discuss these and other ways how A.I. is impacting personal finance and, more importantly, how you can take full advantage of it. Artificial intelligence refers to a branch of computer science where engineers develop software to "think" independently.


Using machine learning to track the pandemic's impact on mental health

#artificialintelligence

Dealing with a global pandemic has taken a toll on the mental health of millions of people. A team of MIT and Harvard University researchers has shown that they can measure those effects by analyzing the language that people use to express their anxiety online. Using machine learning to analyze the text of more than 800,000 Reddit posts, the researchers were able to identify changes in the tone and content of language that people used as the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic progressed, from January to April of 2020. Their analysis revealed several key changes in conversations about mental health, including an overall increase in discussion about anxiety and suicide. "We found that there were these natural clusters that emerged related to suicidality and loneliness, and the amount of posts in these clusters more than doubled during the pandemic as compared to the same months of the preceding year, which is a grave concern," says Daniel Low, a graduate student in the Program in Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology at Harvard and MIT and the lead author of the study.


Artificial Intelligence in Financial Services: Applications and benefits of AI in finance

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) in finance encompasses everything from chatbot assistants to fraud detection and task automation. Most banks (80%) are highly aware of the potential benefits presented by AI, according to Insider Intelligence's AI in Banking report. The decision for financial institutions (FIs) to adopt AI will be accelerated by technological advancement, increased user acceptance, and shifting regulatory frameworks.

IoT steadily remains on the march, setting tech trends and reformatting life as we know it. In fact, personal finance is only one of the things that it's going to drastically change.

How artificial intelligence is re-coding the way we manage our money

#artificialintelligence

It was 1950 when Alan Turing developed a test which looked at a machine's ability to generate responses that were so human-like that you wouldn't be able to tell it was a computer. Fast forward almost seven decades, and we are now at a tipping point in tech, as artificial intelligence (AI) nudges us into the so-called fourth industrial revolution. While there are many reasons to be excited about the potential of these witty machines, any excitement is often drowned out by the fear that we are heading towards an apocalypse of AI's making. We hear people cry in the streets, as these clever machines set about to harvest our organs. Except this is not the Matrix.
