How is AI being used in investing?
A lot of professional investing companies have AI capabilities already to sift through data and determine sentiment, but the dawn of ChatGPT and other chatbots has taken the capabilities a step further.
Earlier this year, an academic paper on ChatGPT found the chatbot aced tests on whether Fed statements were dovish or hawkish and which headlines were good or bad for a stock. While hedge funds already use basic AI to determine how popular a stock is from different data sources, it’s a step forward in speeding up the process.
Hedge fund Campbell & Co told Bloomberg it now uses its own GPT model to run internal processes, while hedge fund Man Group is apparently in talks with OpenAI to have a company-wide license for the tech. There are undoubtedly security issues, though, so the likes of the Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan have allegedly banned ChatGPT at work — for now, at least.
How AI benefits investors
So what does this all mean for investors? While institutional investors might have used their own models for years, the AI boom presents excellent opportunities for retail investors. A lot of research can be automated with AI, which takes away hours of work to find out which stock might be paying off that day or week.
Chatbots can also translate all of this data into easy-to-understand content for would-be investors, which could draw many people from the sidelines and into building wealth with AI. Not to mention the potential for retail investors to use AI chatbots for coding and building their own predictive models for investing.
We’ve already seen evidence of retail investors coming off the sidelines to invest in the recent AI rally, with $1.3 billion added in a day, so why not see that trend continue?
The bottom line
It looks like the AI revolution is old news for professional investors, but it is a brilliant opportunity for retail investors to level the playing field and access powerful AI tools for building wealth. It’s why all of our Kits are powered by the tech — because it’s a great way to get involved in the stock market.
Now you know the ins and outs of how investing and AI are a great match, try it out for yourself with one of Q.ai’s Foundation Kits. Each Kit has a different risk level and theme to give you access to a diversified basket of assets — all with the help of AI, which scans the data and weights your investment each week to help you build wealth.
