Famous James Rickards Quotes

“To the extent that AI mimics human intelligence without being sentient we have to weigh the output against the shortcomings. AI can help to cure certain diseases, but it will also replicate highly dysfunctional behaviors. Developers say they can control for these adverse behaviors. Yet behavioral psychologists themselves don't fully understand them.”

“While there's nothing new about financial panics, the role of AI/GPT is new and makes matters exponentially worse. That's not a criticism of AI which works as intended. It's a criticism of humans who don't understand the tool, over-rely on it, and allow it far too much autonomy in the trading process.”

“GPT surpasses all ... when it comes to conversation, research, and writing. ... creating an algo[rithm] that sells stocks based on a large training set of materials, correlations to past crises, and commonsense heuristics aimed at not being the last one out of a burning barn is trivial. The danger ... is not in the single system but in the resonance of millions of similar systems doing the same thing at the same time. No science fiction is needed.”

“... bias in training materials is inevitable and there are better ways to deal with adverse effects than to scrub them out of existence. Efforts to eliminate bias would simply create new kinds of bias and distort the validity of the original datasets. Bias can be unjust by some standards but serves a useful purpose. ... the way to deal with it is to use other systems developed by those not involved in the original code, assisted by subject matter experts who could spot damaging bias in AI output and mitigate it in a commonsense manner. The way to deal with bias is not to eliminate it (you can't) but to identify bias and take it into account. Again, education and accountability are better than censorship and new biases.”
