AI, Misinformation, and Market Manipulation
$100 Trillion is a big number. It represents the approximate enterprise value of all the companies being traded on the stock exchanges around the world. And guess what’s really scary? Every one of these stock markets is on the verge of breaking but not a lot is being done to repair their foundations.
The truth is that a perfect storm is brewing that combines AI-generated misinformation, social media virality, and automated trading. This cocktail could lead to unprecedented market volatility and manipulation that won’t be easy to combat. At the very least, significant damage could be done while solutions are crafted and operationalized.

@fintechjunkieImagine a world where AI makes our jobs easier, frees us from mundane tasks, and effectively democratizes superintelligence.
In that same world, AI tools might whisper in your ear to recommend the job you never knew existed, the perfect partner based on complex compatibility algorithms, and even the news you "should" read.
This future is part utopian and part dystopian with it being unclear what the “net impact” will be on society.

@fintechjunkieAI is undeniably going to change the world but 99% of AI companies will fizzle and die.
I have real, actionable advice about how to build durable AI companies but understanding my perspective requires a primer on how I think about AI.
