David Stein highlights the use of AI in his retirement portfolio workshop, particularly for running complex simulations. He explains that AI's ability to perform numerous simulations and allow for interactive querying offers a flexibility not found in traditional deterministic models.
“And and we're using AI for that. And the beauty of using AI versus sort of a more deterministic model. AI is able to to do the math. They rely on Python. It's running 10,000 simulations.”
“And you can query and you can ask AI, well, what if we tried it this way? Or what does this mean? Or what was the return series that led to this result? And and that's not something you can necessarily do with with some of the other software out there.”
“But I do like the flexibility of using a large language model to to do retirement planning.”
