Bonus bite: Can AI pick better investments?

from Shared Lunch · host Sharesies

AI can scan thousands of stocks and decades of data in minutes—but should it be trusted to make the final call? In this bonus clip from Shared Lunch, Mike Taylor and Kent Williams of Pie Funds explain how they’re using AI to automate their day-to-day work. They unpack how the technology can speed up investment research, why they stop short of letting AI make trading decisions, and what the rise of the “T-shaped” portfolio manager could mean for the next generation of investors.This clip is a bonus from our previous episode 'Infrastructure: funding the next decade of growth?'
