AI is changing the risk landscape for financial advisors, their clients, and their businesses. Scams are becoming more believable, impersonation is becoming easier, and client trust can be damaged in ways many advice firms may not be ready for.

In this episode of PROpulsion LIVE, I speak with Nevashan Pillay about AI, cybersecurity, client trust, and the future of financial advice.

Nevashan has more than 20 years of experience in financial services, insurance, digital change, operations, technology transformation, regulatory change, AI agent workflows, and cyber insurance product development. In this conversation, we focus on what financial advisors need to understand now as AI changes both the opportunity and the risk.

We discuss why cybersecurity is no longer only an IT topic. It is now a business issue, a client trust issue, and a professional relevance issue. Clients are already using AI tools. Criminals are using AI to make scams more convincing. Advice firms are starting to use AI in their daily work, often without clear rules around privacy, confidentiality, and governance.

This episode will help financial advisors think about how to use AI in a safer, more responsible way while protecting clients from new forms of digital risk.

We discuss:

How AI is changing cyber risk
Why scams and impersonation are becoming harder to spot
What advice firms should know before using AI tools
Why client data and confidentiality need greater care
How advisors can educate clients about AI-driven scams
Simple cyber habits every advice firm should build
Why the human advisor becomes more important, not less

This conversation is part of our 2026 theme: From Knowing to Doing.

The goal is not only to understand AI and cybersecurity. The goal is to take practical steps that protect clients, protect the practice, and strengthen the value of human advice.
