Verified quote attributed to Lawrence D. Sprung, CFP, founder and wealth advisor of Mitlin Financial. The financial-planning.com URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the article "CFP Board addresses AI risk with new ethics guide" quotes Sprung verbatim: "We as CFP professionals need to be in a position to utilize these tools but do it in a way that honors our fiduciary responsibilities and the privacy of the families we serve." Context: CFP Board's Generative AI Ethics Guide (Feb 2025), which stresses AI should aid — not replace — professional expertise, with the CFP professional responsible for the final work product. Year (2025) is current/acceptable. Author attribution confirmed. Source URL is financial-planning.com, the primary outlet for the quote. Vote alignment: the statement is "Regulated industries should prohibit AI from making autonomous decisions where fiduciary duty applies"; Sprung's position (and the guide's) keeps the human fiduciary accountable and treats AI as a subordinate tool rather than an autonomous decision-maker in fiduciary contexts, so a "for" vote is consistent with his view.
