TL;DR
AI is already crushing the analytical heavy lifting that makes up most of a stockbroker's day - from market research to trade execution to compliance reporting. The human touch survives in high-value client relationships, but robo-advisors and AI trading platforms are rapidly eating this profession from both ends. Stockbroker roles face moderate disruption — AI will increasingly handle routine tasks while complex judgment calls remain human.
