What happened

A Léger poll for the AMF found 30% of Quebecers used AI in the past year to learn about personal finances, up from 23% in 2025, with stronger use among 18–24-year-olds. About half of young adults use AI for information, and tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and Gemini are commonly cited as helpers.

Why it matters

AI and online creators can help people understand money topics, but they do not replace personalized advice. Users should verify information with reliable sources and be mindful of data safety.

The poll shows a shift in how people learn about money. Young Quebecers increasingly turn to AI and online creators for financial terms and options, while experts warn AI can give incomplete or outdated information and may not fit a person’s overall finances or risk tolerance.

The AMF says AI can be a useful tool, but users should avoid sharing sensitive data with AI tools and should verify facts before making decisions. The goal is to strengthen understanding, not replace professional guidance.
