GenAI Is Changing the Way People Talk About Money
Generative AI isn’t just writing poems or planning trips anymore — it’s becoming a go-to source for financial guidance. From budgeting tips and savings strategies to investing basics, millions of Americans are asking AI the money questions they might be too embarrassed to ask anywhere else.
According to a recent survey, 66% of U.S. adults who’ve used GenAI have turned to it for financial advice. Among younger generations, the numbers are even higher: 82% of Gen Z and Millennials are seeking money help from AI tools.
What People Ask AI About Money
AI users say their most common financial questions include:
-
Personal finance fundamentals — credit, debt, and financial literacy (35%)
-
Setting financial goals and creating action plans (35%)
-
Budgeting and expense management (34%)
-
Optimizing savings strategies (33%)
-
Investing in the stock market (32%)
For many, AI has become the first stop when managing day-to-day money challenges.
Does It Work? The Results Are Mixed
The data shows real impact:
-
85% of users acted on AI’s financial recommendations.
-
80% reported an improvement in their financial situation.
-
81% feel more confident managing money after using AI tools.
But there’s risk too. Over half (52%) of those who followed AI’s advice admitted to making a poor financial decision or mistake. Fortunately, many treat AI as a starting point: 80% said they research and validate AI advice before acting.
Why People Prefer AI Over Other Platforms
Even though many Americans still use a mix of social media, search engines, and financial websites, AI is quickly catching up. Here’s why:
-
48% say it’s faster and more direct than social media.
-
45% say it explains money concepts in simpler terms.
-
44% believe it gives more personalized advice.
That said, concerns remain. Security and privacy were flagged as top worries by more than half of survey respondents.
