Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and automation are changing how retirement plan advisors operate—but they also introduce new challenges - from operational to ethical concerns. This webcast provides a focused examination of how plan advisors can uphold the American Retirement Association’s (ARA) Code of Conduct, including its ethical requirements, when leveraging digital tools in their practices. Through case-based discussions, participants will explore complex situations involving AI-generated advice, data privacy, marketing automation, and algorithmic decision-making and potential ethical considerations relating to these new solutions. The session emphasizes the balance between efficiency of practice, innovation, professional judgment and ethical reasoning, helping advisors maintain integrity and accountability in a rapidly changing environment.
