Not correct Hedware. I was only talking about psychiatry, not the "whole of medical science".
The point being that we are talking about human psychology both in the investment arena and medical science/psychiatry. As a result, I posit that if the specialist qualified medical sciences are still exercising guesswork in the treatment of human psychiatric conditions/mental processing to suggest financial professionals can apply the same "science" as to how the same person will react to the same/similar stimuli at all points in their life/mood/side of bed they got out of/what the mate at the pub just scored in the stock market is naive.
The other parts of medicine are extremely scientific with double cross over blind testing with multiple peer reviews. Calling risk profiling a pure science is the same as calling economics a pure science. This is farcical in the extreme.
In reference to your point regarding AI, I agree that at some point AI will likely provide the best "technical advice", it will be less successful I believe, at least in the next 20 years, in having clients maintain discipline, stay the course during volatility and not making personally destructive financial decisions. Not sure how AI relates to risk profiling but thought I'd address your second point.
