At the Benzinga Fintech Day & Awards 2025 in New York on Monday, a rare moment of honesty cut through the industry hype: people trust AI with their pocket change, not their life savings. That moment came courtesy of Chris Josephs, co-founder of Autopilot, best known for its viral Pelosi Tracker — and it summed up the mood of a panel titled "A New Era of Trading Tech," presented by WealthCharts.
"People might let AI swing-trade their Robinhood money," Josephs said, "but when it comes to their retirement accounts, they want a human."
