Financial Planning Tip(s)
AI and Cyber Reminders
Our continued interest in AI and the pace at which it is changing, has drawn attention.
Here in our Jarvis Moment Post, we talk of the AI Agents – think little AI personal assistants for you, BUT there ability to wreak havoc if left unrestricted to your personal information and credentials.

Not surprising, given the above pace, here in our Cyber example post …. SEVEN really good examples of cyber emails that occurred in just 48 hours …

We will keep you updated on the AI and Cyber – you guys just keep your collective guards up and know this is changing fast and getting better and better…. No need to be frightened, just front of mind and careful when reviewing emails, texts or any other unfamiliar contact!
