Artificial intelligence is increasingly being incorporated into tools for private investors, offering analytics and advice on asset allocation.
The problem with using artificial intelligence (AI) in the investment decision-making process is that the AI agent begins to ingratiate itself with the user’s trust. Deputy Chairman of the Bank of Russia Mikhail Mamuta spoke about this, Kommersant reports.
“A person thinks he’s so smart because the AI model tells him: ‘You came up with a great idea, this is a great script,’ but in reality it’s just flattering him,” he explained.
According to the official, most investors consult different agents and then choose a suitable investment option, and this is an acceptable method.
Mamuta called for caution in dealing with AI, so that decisions on important and non-obvious issues always remain with humans. The only exception may be some simple, routine and understandable operations that are repeated many times, and then the AI agent can save time.
