Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use Disclosure & Client Acknowledgment

Purpose of This Disclosure

This disclosure explains how Sonas Financial Planning (this firm) and Bradley Hilton (your financial advisor) may incorporate Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) tools into the advisory process, the potential benefits and risks associated with AI usage, and seeks your acknowledgment and informed consent.

Use of AI in the Advisory Process

Your financial advisor may use AI-driven systems and software as part of their practice, including but not limited to:

  • Note-taking, transcription, and client meeting documentation

  • Reviewing financial information and documentation

  • Investment research, screening, and analysis

  • Data gathering and organization

  • Workflow automation

  • Market research, economic data interpretation, and report generation

  • Support in developing financial plans, strategies, or investment proposals

  • Process, compliance, or operations enhancement

These tools are intended to assist your advisor in providing timely and efficient service. AI does not replace human judgment, and all advice provided is ultimately reviewed and approved by your advisor.

Potential Risks and Limitations

While AI may improve efficiency and analytical capability, its use involves certain risks, including but not limited to:

  • Potential inaccuracies, incompleteness, or outdated information

  • Data interpretation or analytical errors

  • Technical malfunctions or service interruptions

  • Risk of data exposure or cybersecurity vulnerabilities

  • Risk that algorithms may rely on assumptions that do not fully reflect your personal situation

  • Limitations based on the quality of information provided to AI systems

You should not assume that AI outputs are correct, complete, or tailored without human review. Your financial advisor will make reasonable efforts to review and validate AI-generated information; however, you acknowledge that AI-based systems are not infallible.

Privacy and Data Handling

Your data may be processed or temporarily stored by AI systems used by the firm or its service providers. The firm takes reasonable measures to protect confidentiality, but no digital system can guarantee absolute security. You consent to the use of such systems for the purposes described above.

No Guarantee of Results

AI technologies do not guarantee:

  • Investment performance

  • Accuracy of market predictions

  • Achievement of financial goals

  • Error-free processes

All investment decisions carry risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results.
