Related Work 2.1. Financial management As a crucial intermediary in the financial realm, traditional financial advisors hold significant sway within the financial system. Research indicates that nearly 70 percent of affluent families engage with a financial advisor annually, seeking counsel on investment strategies and financial planning. These advisors aid both individuals and institutions in managing and expanding their financial portfolios by offering advisory services, recommending financial products, providing asset allocation guidance, and more[1-3]. Despite their pivotal role, traditional investment advisory services rely on manual processes, constrained by fixed temporal and spatial limitations. This results in prolonged service durations, non-real-time data provision, and suboptimal customer experiences. Intelligent advisory services, on the other hand, leverage big data, intelligent algorithms, and electronic information transmission methods to streamline the service process scientifically. Through electronic and intelligent methodologies in marketing, user evaluation, asset allocation suggestions, intelligent rebalancing, information dissemination, and customer reporting, these services facilitate 24/7 investment advisory across multiple platforms, thereby enhancing customer experiences significantly. However, despite the importance of traditional financial advisors, they are not without their drawbacks and limitations: 1. Limited Reach: Traditional advisors predominantly rely 22 on face-to-face interactions with clients, limiting the accessibility of their services. This poses challenges, particularly for clients in remote areas or those constrained by time, in accessing timely financial advice and services. 2. Lack of Personalization: Manual advisory services often struggle to deliver highly personalized experiences when catering to a large clientele base. Consequently, some clients may not receive tailored advice aligned with their specific needs. 3. Incomplete Information: Financial advisors' recommendations are typically informed by their own expertise and knowledge, potentially overlooking certain financial products and market information. This can result in clients lacking access to comprehensive financial insights, leading to suboptimal decision-making. Hence, while traditional financial advisors are integral to the financial market, it's imperative to acknowledge their limitations. Furthermore, with technological advancements, the demand for more efficient and personalized financial services is burgeoning. The evolution of intelligent assistants within enterprises has traversed four pivotal stages: Intelligent Intern (SI), Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), Personal Advisor (PC), and Enterprise Optimized Employee (COE). Initially, AI focused on automating processes to enhance workflow efficiency[4- 5]. Subsequently, it progressed to catering to complex personalized needs and optimizing services based on user behavior patterns. In the third phase, individual advisors began offering professional advice backed by in-depth data analysis to bolster decision-making processes. Ultimately, AI matures to the point of being optimized for enterprise operations, functioning as a pivotal force capable of independently executing tasks and fostering innovation. These stages delineate the evolutionary trajectory of AI in business operations, from rudimentary automation tools to sophisticated systems providing intricate analyses and decision support, thereby catalyzing business growth and transformation. 2.2. Intelligent finance Intelligent financial advisors leverage cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, in tandem with foundational elements like big data and cloud computing, to seamlessly integrate with the financial sector. They provide technical support to diverse enterprises and participants in the financial industry, underscoring the pivotal role of artificial intelligence in financial market engagement[6]. According to a report from the International Data Corporation (IDC), the intelligent financial services market is projected to reach $1.2 trillion by 2025, boasting a robust compound annual growth rate of up to 23%. Its ecosystem comprises entities offering AI technology services to financial institutions, traditional financial establishments, emerging financial formats, and indispensable regulatory bodies. These intelligent financial advisors operate in two primary modes: completely unattended and partially unattended. In a completely hands-off model, platforms like Betterment and Wealthfront employ sophisticated algorithms to autonomously manage portfolios, executing asset allocation and trading based on analyses of users' investment objectives, risk tolerance, and market conditions to optimize portfolio performance. For instance, if a user aims for long-term growth and exhibits high risk tolerance, the platform may allocate more resources to high-risk, high-return investments such as equities[7]. In the partially unattended mode, platforms like Vanguard Personal Advisor Services offer a blend of automated and manual services. Investors can interact with a registered investment advisor to receive personalized investment advice. These platforms typically engage with investors via online chat, phone calls, or video conferencing to grasp their specific needs and circumstances, tailoring investment portfolios accordingly in conjunction with intelligent algorithms. For example, if an investor has specific investment objectives or preferences for particular industries, a registered investment advisor can customize their portfolio accordingly. In essence, whether fully automated or partially assisted, the crux of intelligent financial advisors lies in employing advanced algorithms and technologies to furnish investors with intelligent investment advice and services. This model's strengths lie in its efficiency, convenience, and personalization, facilitating investors in achieving financial goals and managing assets more effectively. While smart financial advisors offer numerous benefits such as lowered service thresholds, expanded audience reach, and enhanced service quality, they also encounter challenges. Apart from potentially lacking the flexibility and creativity inherent in human subjective judgment, they face issues regarding data security and privacy protection. For instance, some intelligent financial advisors necessitate extensive personal financial data for analysis and recommendations, raising privacy concerns among users. Moreover, information asymmetry in underlying asset selection can impact investors' decisions, while market fluctuations and unforeseen events may lead to algorithmic misjudgments. Thus, while advancing smart financial advisors, it's imperative to bolster oversight of data security and privacy protection and enhance algorithmic stability and accuracy to safeguard investors' interests and foster trust. 2.3. Generative artificial intelligence and financial management Generative AI, a method rooted in deep learning models, has the capacity to generate novel data resembling the training data by grasping the intrinsic distribution of vast datasets. Its operational mechanism revolves around generative adversarial networks (GANs) and variational autoencoders (VAEs)[8]. GAN comprises two key components: the generator and the discriminator. The generator generates fresh data samples, while the discriminator discerns between generated and real samples. Through iterative optimization of both networks, the generator progressively learns the data distribution to produce more realistic samples. VAE, on the other hand, learns the latent representation of input data through probabilistic encoding and decoding, which is then mapped to a generated sample by the decoder. In financial decision-making, generative AI assimilates data distribution via deep learning models, assimilating historical financial data and market trends to produce new data samples for decision support, including financial forecasting, investment guidance, and risk assessment. Compared to conventional rule-based decision systems, generative AI yields more precise and adaptable decision outcomes, comprehending intricate financial markets and economic landscapes, and adapting and optimizing in real- time as data fluctuates[9]. Its foundation lies in GANs and VAEs, generating top-notch samples through adversarial 23 learning and probabilistic encoding and decoding. Continuous refinement and adjustment enable generative AI to comprehend and acclimatize to complex environments and evolving data, furnishing accurate and adaptable decision support. Generative AI boasts several advantages in financial decision-making: 1.
