Robo advisors often are on par with and can exceed the standards of human advices, but they don’t fit into the category of fiduciary, and therefore won’t be held to the same regulatory standard that humans advisors are. Nonetheless, they are subject to systemic risks and the potential for abuses that can hurt consumers. Professors Tom Baker and Benedict Dellaert offer a regulatory trajectory to follow as the technology of robo advisors continues to develop and expand.flash_audiohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Business Law, Public Responsibility, and EthicsFinanceFinance and Financial ManagementBrief
