Citadel's Ken Griffin Says AI Is 'Almost Certainly' in a Bubble
Griffin said AI is transforming research and trading, but warned some jobs will be made obsolete and called for more worker retraining.
- Ken Griffin, founder of the $77 billion hedge fund Citadel and market maker Citadel Securities, warned on Tuesday that artificial intelligence will make once-stable, well-paid jobs like translators obsolete.
- Despite the "tremendous" advancement of models, Griffin said in New York that producing market-beating returns remains "squarely in the domain of humans." He argued the core business is research.
- Citadel provided stock pickers with assistants late last year "to further accelerate their research process," though Griffin warned against "offloading human judgment" to the technology.
- As a business owner, Griffin noted that artificial intelligence is frightening because "you're seeing your competitive moats being filled in by bulldozers," forcing established companies to innovate faster than ever.
- Predicting a "golden age" for entrepreneurs, Griffin added that the country should embrace "reskilling" for those at risk as barriers to starting small businesses fall.
