Artificial intelligence is a double-edged sword in the world of finance. It offers an incredible toolkit to diagnose and correct our most ingrained behavioral flaws, potentially making investors more successful. Yet it also introduces novel risks by becoming an actor in the market itself, complete with its own systematic machine biases and the frightening prospect of algorithmic herding. The line between human and machine decision-making in finance is blurring, creating a new market ecosystem defined by their interaction. The new market mind is here, and whether it leads to a more rational market or new forms of systemic fragility will depend entirely on the behavioral wisdom we embed in its code.

When an AI Outperforms 93% of Fund Managers!
For decades, financial theory has rested on a central axiom: public information is free, symmetric, and quickly incorporated into prices. Under this premise, investors shouldn’t be able to generate sustained returns using data available to everyone. However, a recent study by Ed deHaan, Chanseok Lee, Miao Liu, and Suzie Noh (Stanford and Boston College, 2025) challenges this idea with a compelling experiment: an AI that, relying solely on public data, systematically improves the portfolios of thousands of real-world funds.
LIVE, WORK AND THINK WITH AI
Co-Intelligence, by Ethan Mollick, shows how generative AI is reshaping both personal and professional spheres. Through four heuristic rules and five operational roles, the author provides a practical playbook for boosting individual creativity, critical reflection, and decision making, while warning against blind reliance on language models.
Can AI Be More Reasonable Than Humans and Human-AI Teams?
“AI tends to outperform not only humans, but human-AI teams. One study, a 2019 preprint meta-analysis conducted by researchers at the University of Washington and Microsoft Research, looked at a number of previous studies in which decisions made by AI systems alone were assessed against “AI-assisted” decisions made by humans. In every case, they found … Sigue leyendo Can AI Be More Reasonable Than Humans and Human-AI Teams?
