Mollick challenges FT claim that AI chatbots fail most financial queries
emollick · x · 2026-09-20
Ethan Mollick pushes back on an FT report claiming AI chatbots give wrong financial answers "most of the time." He notes the report comes from a company selling competing AI financial products, offers too few example questions to judge its accuracy, and contradicts recent research showing AI doing well at financial advice. He also asks UK tax experts to adjudicate between conflicting model answers on a tax question.
