Artificial intelligence is the latest technological advance to send the stock market into a frenzy, but how significant is it? And how will it all play out for investors?
These are the questions which my new book, due out this year, sets to answer. Building on the analysis that underpinned my earlier book, Engines That Move Markets, and based on two years of intensive research and discussion with AI pioneers, the book puts the current excitement into context and maps out how AI will change the world of work and who the likely winners and losers will be.
I shall be releasing segments of the ten chapter book in advance of final publication, covering everything from the history of AI, the reasons it is taking off now, what it can do and who will win the race to dominate this brave new world. While there are already many books about AI out there, this is the first to be researched and written by a full time professional investor who has studied the market impact of all the biggest technological changes of the last two hundred years, from the canals and railways onwards.
Understanding the meaning of AI and its potential impact is the most important issue facing any investor today, as we all try to navigate our way through this transformative moment for society. This is my take on how it will all play out. Signing up as a follower of this site will enable you to read the extracts as they come out ahead of the formal publication of the final version later in the year.
