A.J. De Rosa told the WealthStack Podcast that wealth managers should treat AI as a firmwide strategy, not just a time-saving feature, with the bigger payoff in client engagement, personalization and proactive insights.

De Rosa, who brings 29 years of finance and technology leadership, said the industry’s next phase is human judgment combined with machine intelligence, not humans replaced by AI.

With AI agents making decisions, how can firms prove to regulators that a human is still truly in control?
