Description

Investment scams empowered by AI are going to get worse in the years ahead - and no amount of regulation is going to stop 'bad actors' inside finance. 

Self-defence in the form of financial literacy is the answer: investors need it, kids in school need it, but the government has put the issue on the back burner. It’s time for a change.

Tracey West, financial education manager at Ecstra, the financial literacy foundation joins Associate Editor - James Kirby in this episode.

 

In today's episode, we cover:

  • Scam watch - What investors need to know 
  • Why the First Guardian scandal is a taste of things to come
  • Should schools make financial literacy mandatory?
  • How AI 'fakes' will drive a new wave of investment fraud
