Beyond the Buzz: What A.I. Means for Investors

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of artificial intelligence on investing and business productivity.

Artificial intelligence has moved from headlines to the real economy changing how we work, spend, and invest. Colin Faulkner sits down with Matthew LeBlanc of Columbia Threadneedle to unpack what A.I. actually is, where it’s showing up in daily life and business productivity, and how its growth could impact markets and portfolios. We also tackle risks, misinformation, jobs, security and where opportunity may lie beyond the mega-cap names.
