Sérgio Cardoso, chief education officer at Doutor Finanças, stated that artificial intelligence is not currently the biggest risk to the financial literacy of the Portuguese population. This position contrasts with the perception that many might have about the dangers associated with AI technology.
According to Sérgio Cardoso, there are other risks that he considers more concerning for financial literacy, specifically mentioning fraud as one of the main threats in this domain.
The official emphasized the importance of developing critical thinking as a fundamental element to protect consumers from potential future risks related to artificial intelligence and other financial threats.
This statement comes in the context of a broader debate about how to prepare the population for present and future financial challenges, where the capacity for critical thinking is pointed out as an essential tool.
