Hedge funds are turning to generative AI, such as OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT, to automate mundane tasks and speed up productivity. This latest buzzword in AI can follow instructions and create new content after being trained on vast amounts of data from finance. While it has the potential to create material efficiency gains and relieve employees of tedious tasks, the technology is yet to be a game-changer for investing methods. Currently, the most obvious benefit is the acceleration of coding, research, and client communication. For instance, Man Group is exploring the use of ChatGPT to detect basic patterns in data sets and automate investor relations for efficient customer service. Hedge funds like Campbell & Co, which have experimented with the technology, are keeping humans in the loop for now, and may integrate ChatGPT as an assistant to improve efficiency for their workforce.
