60. Artificial Intelligence: making shopping, viewing and medication more personal
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is growing exponentially. From helping us trace, monitor and eventually medicate COVID-19, through to making online shopping and entertainment more personalised and enjoyable experiences. In this podcast, Chris Ford, manager of Smith & Williamson Artificial Intelligence fund, talks us through the applications of AI in our daily lives, how we can better govern the use of personal data and how its adoption may be accelerated.
The Smith & Williamson Artificial Intelligence fund uses an AI system itself to help find companies whose business models incorporate AI (rather than just making it) and are therefore aligned to benefit from this growing theme. The fund can invest in businesses of almost any size and in more than just technology stalwarts; around half of the portfolio can usually be found in the healthcare and consumer-related sectors.

The content is not intended to be a personal recommendation to buy or sell any fund or trust, or to adopt a particular investment strategy. However, the knowledge that professional analysts have analysed a fund or trust in depth before assigning them a rating can be a valuable additional filter for anyone looking to make their own decisions. Past performance is not a reliable guide to future returns. Market and exchange-rate movements may cause the value of investments to go down as well as up. Yields will fluctuate and so income from investments is variable and not guaranteed. You may not get back the amount originally invested. Tax treatment depends of your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. If you are unsure about the suitability of any investment you should seek professional advice. Whilst FundCalibre provides product information, guidance and fund research we cannot know which of these products or funds, if any, are suitable for your particular circumstances and must leave that judgement to you. Before you make any investment decision, make sure you’re comfortable and fully understand the risks.
