Elliot Weissbluth will referee -- with a human bias -- a debate on robo-advisors starring Joe Duran, John Michel, and Jon Stein

Robo Advisors will never replace human advisors if human advisors take advantage of technological innovations which take the human capacity to reason beyond its limited three dimensional limitation to reason. Who would argue to the contrary? Machines have no such limitation and humans can interpret data and have judgment not possible with machines.
Robo Advice as a treat is a myth unless the level of routine counsel provided neither is continuous and comprehensive nor adds value, both of which are advanced by robo advice.
