The 21st century will probably be an even more exciting time to be alive than anything our species has witnessed before. We are on the cusp of a new era, where artificial intelligence will play a major role in shaping the future: We are about to witness the next economic revolution!

As businesses and economies around the world start to adapt and transform, its important to make sure youre prepared and aligned to profit for whats to come.

In my opinion, one of the best ways to do so is by at least building some investment exposure in artificial intelligence!

Lets deep dive into the next $1 trillion industry!

Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to revolutionize the future of economic development, allowing businesses to leverage unprecedented capabilities and streamline processes in an ever-changing landscape.

Its the new frontier and the next big economic revolution!

While many economists are worried about greenflation, onshoring, and other inflationary problems, unleashing artificial intelligence and robotics could be the next building block to keep the former in check and most likely add more productivity gains as those gone lost.

The big issue though will be:

Who is set to profit from whats to come?

Hoping for humanity to move in the right direction here, workers who learn to use AI to improve their own productivity are set to gain the most, second should be those who own the new winners and invest in the future.

You see, I dont believe our workforce will be replaced by AI, but I believe the current workforce will be slowly replaced by a workforce that understands how to make use of AI.

Its like a new machine, a tool, a hammer, or an engine: Those who know how to use them will improve their worth and productivity multifold going forward.

Its time to invest into the potential of AI by learning more about it, securing some ownership of promising ventures, the industry as a whole, and skilling yourself up!

Invest In Artificial Intelligence to unlock unprecedented opportunities and secure a market advantage in the 21st-century economy.

Artificial intelligence is set to revolutionize the way we live and work.

It is NOT to be ignored as it changes everything.

By investing some time to learn and leveraging its power, you could potentially unlock unprecedented opportunities and secure a market advantage in future economic growth.

As mentioned above, the best way to benefit from this new economy is by investing in AI technologies and companies that are going to help drive innovation and efficiency, so lets explore this field a bit more.

As an investor you got several options to get invested, you can review a few listed companies and try your luck, or you can invest in much broader diversified ETFs in artificial intelligence and/ or robotics. The most important point here is to be clear about whether or not to diversify!

Every time a new industry is growing, there will be hundreds if not thousands of contestants trying to make it, a large part of these will disappear again and in the end, some new players or even old players will emerge as winners of new technologies.

As an investor one got to be hyper-clear on this as you may have to think if you want to diversify or di-worsify. While diversification works for economies as a whole, your AI/ robo ETF position would still be a concentrated exposure in this niche field, hence, youd also be holding all the losers. And yes, you will also hold the potential winners!

When buying single stocks, you may be lucky to pick the right company, or you may face a total wipeout by investing in the wrong guys.

Diversify or di-worsify, theres a very fine line between the two!

Most importantly: Know what and why you are doing one or the other!!!

Without a doubt, as expenditure for AI solutions is growing at almost 30% year over year since 2019 (from $30bn to now close to $100bn in 2023), its highly interesting to own a piece of the action!

Did you know there are already more than 65 AI companies valued in excess of $1 billion?

So, how you can get your foot into this as investor?

There are three ways:

The right choice here is also up to you and how much time and effort youre willing to spend on researching and identifying the market.

The less time and expertise you bring with you, the more I tend towards diversification and/ or delegation while vice versa you might be finding great opportunities in this market by bringing up the right time and effort here!

Lets have a look.

There are several AI/ Robo ETFs already available to retail investors, with more being added all the time. This is a great way to get exposure to the market without having to do too much research.

All you need is an online broker and some money to get started.

Some of the most popular ETFs are: BOTZ, ROBO, IRBO, ROBT

BOTZ, the Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF, got established back in 2016 and is a fund that invests in companies that potentially stand to benefit from increased adoption and utilization of robotics and artificial intelligence. This may include companies working in industrial robotics, automation, non-industrial robots, and autonomous vehicles.

ROBO, the ROBO Global Robotics and Automation Index ETF is focused on companies driving transformative innovations in robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence. It invests in companies that are mainly focused on AI, but also ventures into cloud computing and other technology companies.

IRBO, the iShares Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF aims to track the results of an index of developed and emerging market companies that might benefit from long-term opportunities in robotics companies and artificial intelligence.

ROBT, or First Trust Nasdaq Artificial Intelligence and Robotics ETF is more of an index tracking ETF as it seeks to track the Nasdaq CTA Artificial and Robotics Index made up of companies engaged in artificial intelligence and robotics in technology, industrials, and other sectors.

Disclaimer:

Please take note to do your own research and dont simply put all your savings into one of these funds, you may consider this niche as a tactical/ opportunistic satellite investment. Beware to get your asset allocation right and look for professional support in case of doubt!

While identifying and picking single stocks is the more difficult route to go about this, it might be the more rewarding route for investors willing to invest their time and do their homework.

The best opportunities await those who embrace ongoing learning!

However, I would not recommend this route for less experienced investors though as it requires not only more time but also a must deeper understanding of equity markets and a willingness to take action in a fast manner every once in a while.

Most recently Ive screened through a few tickers for this reason, a great way to go about it is to download the holdings/ position overview of the abovementioned ETFs and see what has been added and/ or decommissioned most recently.

While doing it this way will not give you a cutting-edge advantage and it comes with some delays, it will still give you some color about whats going on and what professional investors are doing! At least, you can learn something from doing this.

Ive found many interesting investing ideas by looking at holding lists of thematic ETFs and/ or mutual funds before. As for single stocks on AI/ robotics, let me share a non-conclusive (and static!) list of 20 stocks. Please dont take this simply as a buy-list or investing advice, do your own research and beware that things can change going forward.

IRBT (iRobot, the leading robotic and home innovation firm)

MSFT (Microsoft, a leading global software company, ChatGPT anyone?)

GOOG (Google says it all the leading global search platform)

TSLA (Tesla, the leading global autonomous driving software)

LMND (Lemonade, AI driven insurance provider)

And dont forget to leverage professional advice where appropriate, you may book me on the DDI Chat for personal finance and wealth management sessions directly here:

Last but not least, you can also invest into the future using AI as your tool of choice.

However, be careful not to delegate everything to the bots just quite yet, but theres nothing wrong exploring some service providers who have developed amazing tools to navitage markets as a SaS provider:

For instance, there are a few of these service providers who focus on using AI to assess the content and sentiment of news & articles around publicly traded companies, helping investors make decisions based off data-driven signals.

You can also find some services that specialize in backtesting trading strategies to simulate how they would have performed over a certain period. If youre into algorithmic trading, this might be an interesting route to explore.

Finally, there are some providers of robo-advisory services, which automate the selection of investments and portfolio management processes for clients who dont feel comfortable managing their own assets. This could be another great way to leverage artificial intelligence in your investing journey.

Overall, AI is a great tool to help investors uncover new insights and make better decisions.

It can be an incredibly powerful way to invest in the future!

Just remember that no investment should ever be made without conducting due diligence first or talking to a professional first.

As long as you do your homework, there are plenty of potential rewards waiting for you!

One thing is sure, those who understand and make use of AI will be the ones to gain the most out of this opportunity.

From early adopters, innovators, investors and entrepreneurs, everyone will have an equal chance to create their own success stories in the new AI economy.

Who would win in a test of wits: a baby or an artificial intelligence? You might think you know the answer to this; certainly, decades worth of science fiction stories about sinister robots have indicated that the machines would have an advantage. But a recent discovery suggests that we might have been going about this all wrong and it might be time to start betting on the babies.

Thats the big takeaway from a new report at Gothamist, which recounts the findings of a recent NYU study. That study, titled Commonsense psychology in human infants and machines, pitted 11-month-old babies against what its authors dubbed state-of-the-art learning-driven neural-network models. What both groups were tested on was their sense of why people were doing certain things.

As the article explains, the 11-month-old babies were able to recognize goals and routines while observing a series of videos and showed surprise when those changed. The artificial intelligence, by comparison, had a harder time recognizing the same things.

The authors of the study view this as the first chapter in a much longer line of inquiry. In the papers abstract, they write that this work takes the first step in testing whether human knowledge and human-like artificial intelligence can be built from the foundations cognitive and developmental theories postulate. For those concerned about a potential robot uprising, this is encouraging news.

ROCKFORD, Mich. Its the age-old question for families when winter strikes - are we going to have a snow day? Usually, its a wait-and-see situation, with multiple factors in the decision from individual school districts.

While this winter is waning, along with the chances of a snow day, one Rockford father is utilizing the latest wave of technology to make this more than a guess.

The product that Im working on is a snow day prediction application to where its going to use artificial intelligence to predict the likelihood of a snow day, said Steven Wangler.

Artificial intelligence? To predict a snow day?

This particular application builds on the hype of ChatGPT, the open A.I. product. ChatGPT is a linguistic model, which means its like a language model, Wangler explained. So if Im feeding in a bunch of data and asking it for something, its doing its best to reason, or reasonably predict what I want out of what Im telling it, he furthered.

Steven, a software engineer, has programmed the predictor specifically for the Rockford area.

Wanger, of Rockford, is hoping his prediction application can accurately indicate when a snow day will take place.

This is ultimately tailored towards stuff I found in the Rockford snow day policy, and stuff the superintendent has said about his decision and why he does this, Wangler explained.

The model analyzes numerous inputs of weather data.

Some of the inputs are something like the minimum temperature, the maximum temperatures for the day, the percentage chance of rain or snow, the wind chill, current weather conditions, said Wangler. We pull in that data, and then we build a response or a message to open A.I. that we can send, and then we give it some rules to follow, he added.

One specific rule is abiding by the snow day policy of Rockford Public Schools. Wangler described this process of digging up past snow days, emails from the superintendent and their decision-making.

And then from there, it makes its prediction, said Wangler.

Like any product, it needs a name.

We call it Blizzard right now. We thought about naming it Yeti after our dog but its a little clich.

Steven has high hopes for its use in the future when Old Man Winter knocks.

I think I'm going to throw up a website for it for people to sign up for alerts. Then hopefully give options for text messages one day and then emails. Different mediums that we could find.

There are snow day calculators out there. But you know, the difference with this is I'm fairly sure there are no snow day calculators currently that use artificial intelligence to make their predictions, Wangler said. People can just use it for fun, and, you know, can get an accurate good product without having to pay for it."

Dr. Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD, recently spoke at the Adobe Summit 2023 event, emphasizing the crucial role that artificial intelligence (AI) will play in the industry over the next decade.

She highlighted how this technology can significantly increase business productivity and bring new benefits to everyone. Her visionary perspective on the future of AI underscores its importance in technological innovation and its impact on the business world.

According to Su, it's crucial to consider the progress being made with the vast amounts of data generated by AI. "When I think about artificial intelligence, I think about the AI that's hiding under all the data analytics, and how we can get smarter with this ton of information it generates, and how we can make more use of it," she said.

Su believes that the potential of AI can be unlocked by developing it as a personal assistant or co-pilot that helps individuals solve problems. "That's incredibly powerful," she explained. To support this vision, the industry must prepare itself with the right hardware that can handle the massive amounts of data generated by AI. Su added, "It takes an incredible amount of computing power, tens of hundreds of GPUs and CPUs."

Furthermore, Su and her team are working on creating chips with over 100 billion transistors, which they believe will have tremendous business value. She also acknowledged that both AMD and NVIDIA are in the discovery phase and have a long way to go.

While AI can enhance productivity, Su believes that it won't replace human intelligence. "I don't see this as a replacement for the world. Even the greatest genius can be more agile, better, and capable. What we really want to do is increase productivity, and I think that's going to be exciting in the next 10 years."
