How is artificial intelligence changing the way young people learn about, manage and make decisions with money?
In this episode, we speak to Louise Hill, founder of GoHenry, the children’s financial education and money management platform, about the future of financial literacy in an increasingly digital world.
With nearly one in five young people reportedly turning to AI for investment advice, we explore the opportunities and risks of relying on AI chatbots for financial guidance. Can these tools help young people become more financially confident and independent, or do they risk exposing them to misleading information and commercially influenced recommendations?
Louise also discusses her campaign to make financial education compulsory in UK primary schools, which has contributed to the introduction of financial education into the English primary curriculum from September 2028. We examine why teaching children about money from an early age matters, and whether AI literacy should become part of that education.
The conversation also explores gender inequality in finance, including why boys are more likely than girls to seek AI advice on investing, and the importance of female leadership in traditionally male-dominated industries.
From the responsibility of AI companies to the role of schools, parents and financial services providers, this episode asks a vital question: how can we ensure technology puts young people’s financial wellbeing first?
Listen to discover what the future of financial education could look like, and what young people need to know to navigate an AI-driven financial world.
