Will, CEO and CIO of a nearly $10 billion AUM hedge fund, emphasizes the necessity of embracing AI for competitive advantage. He believes it's irresponsible to ignore tools that enhance speed and effectiveness, stating that the firm has been using advanced statistics and AI concepts for years and launched an internal AI program two years ago. He aims to lead by example to drive AI adoption within his 400-person firm.
“As a hedge fund, we should be ashamed to leave money on the table by ignoring tools that make us faster, smarter, and more effective.”
“I really feel that it'd be irresponsible of me not to go after it with sort of the maximum amount of discipline and intensity I I can muster, which, which is a lot.”
“So even two years ago, like this isn't a sense of, oh yeah, we're going to do all these things in the future, you know, two years ago, we started an internal AI program.”
