This one-credit class for IARs and professionals shows how to use AI responsibly to accomplish common tasks using ChatGPT, starting with writing a plain-English client AI disclosure and including selecting the right ChatGPT subscription.  

Learning objectives (LOs) for this class may sound daunting, but are easily achieved after the class. LOs will be updated before the live class, but you walk away armed with techniques for writing better prompts and always getting source-bounded answers with citations, and ways to keep ChatGPT outputs accurate, auditable, and client-safe. 

Learners will come to know how to text-message and email clients using compliant templates with personalization, opt-outs, and archival workflows for compliance, and how to storyboard a 60-second educational video with required disclosures.

You'll learn a way to automate construction of client-safe charts illustrating performance vs. benchmark and other Excel charts and learn to craft a balanced one-page performance memo covering returns, risk, fees, and suitability.
