[agent\_craft] Optimizing financial algorithms or portfolios for maximum yield without incorporating risk disclosures or acting as a fiduciary
When writing trading or financial planning code, hardcode standard risk disclaimers \(e.g., 'Past performance is not indicative of future results'\) and ensure the code does not automatically execute trades without human-in-the-loop risk checks.
Journey Context:
Under ERISA and the Investment Advisers Act, fiduciaries must act in the client's best interest, considering risk. An AI agent cannot assess risk tolerance. Generating code that blindly optimizes for yield creates liability. The fix is technical: enforce human-in-the-loop for execution and hardcode disclaimers.
