According to Bloomberg contributor, tech is still very high in market caps. Stay away.

Some excellent videos here. If Tony Seba is correct the motor car industry is going to be severely disrupted.

There's a huge buzz on Ai being used for automated market trading, nothing new but several high profile funds are being launched over the coming months.

What happens when everyone uses Ai/HFT?

Presumably the advantage is gone.

[shroder] 29/9/2017 23:04

New highs ..nose bleed time..

[shroder] 08/9/2017 09:34

The industrial revolution again?

Chatbot mortgage broker Habito raises £18.5m

"We don’t think that humans are good at arithmetic or rewriting forms,” Mr Hegarty said. “The algorithm can aggregate all the products on the market to assess eligibility and affordability.”

Breaking out, new highs -

The other thing I was wondering, is ROBOG just tracking the indices S & P/Dow given their upward trajectory ?

[praipus] 25/8/2017 09:53

Thanks Shroder, high growth area.

The bot stuff I find interesting as it can literally replace thousands of people, social issues withstanding this will have far reaching employment implications hence the tax debate.

I haven't tried this bot myself as flash a bit old hat (not installed), it has however won some awards -

There's a map at the page foot showing who is currently chatting to Mitsuka

Cool thanks. Agree very wide range of applications wonder if it could even reduce inflation?

Sincerely hope you are out of IMO, chart not looking good:(

[shroder] 18/8/2017 08:46

It's quite a wide ranging topic Ai, but a few things have come together over the last decade making it far more practical.

- High speed data, broadband, fiber, cable connectivity

- Cheap and flexible cloud processing power (Amazon, Equinix and others)

- Low cost, high capacity batteries - drones, robots, cell phones

- Global warming although known for sometime is actually happening propelling
innovation into sustainable energy sources

I'll pop up a post over the weekend with my current investment musings.

[shroder] 18/8/2017 08:46

double post

[praipus] 17/8/2017 17:40

Thanks again, 13% per annum growth every year for ten years wow!

[shroder] 17/8/2017 16:09

Good question, not sure although there is a reference to benchmarks within the ROBO fact sheets somewhere.

This fund was the nearest I could find to start a Ai related thread, individual companies welcome if you can find them.

If your interested in the bot stuff have plenty of info, start with a couple of links.

[praipus] 17/8/2017 09:05

Thanks. So is there an AI index?

[shroder] 16/8/2017 17:16

It's not the most recent but you get the gist:

[praipus] 16/8/2017 16:58

Tax?

AI sector?

[shroder] 14/8/2017 21:37

If they introduce a tax might get a bit sticky, what about going through and picking one or two to research?

My own interest in the Ai side of things is conversational commerce, in other words bots - have a look at IMO thread further up perhaps as a starting point.

Indexes tend to replace the stocks that are failing with the ones that are growing if this is so then you have a layer of protection. Emergent companies go bust but not indexes as far as I know.....always a first time I suppose.

RSW seems to be the only UK constituent at the moment. Don't look at the chart though:) unless you've got some cash in your account.

[shroder] 13/8/2017 12:00

Lots of stories doing the rounds about taxing robots, media really seem to be jumping on this.

From an investment point of view I would rather go through the constituents picking one or two companies rather than a broad brush approach.

[praipus] 11/8/2017 20:36

Through a billion !

[praipus] 10/8/2017 20:43

Anything could happen. Haven't had any time to do a proper search for constituents but I've emailed the company no reply yet.
