Can AI Help You Plan for Retirement More Accurately Than a Human Advisor?

Imagine asking a financial advisor to model every possible outcome for your retirement – adjusting for market crashes, inflation spikes, healthcare costs, career changes, and longevity risk – and having the answer back in under a minute. That's not a pitch for the future. AI retirement planning tools are doing that right now, and for a growing number of people, they're producing better starting projections than a human advisor working from a spreadsheet and a gut feeling. But "better starting projections" and "more accurate overall" are not the same thing, and that distinction matters enormously when the stakes are your financial security for the next 20 or 30 years.
