As AI tools improve, the investor’s advantage will increasingly lie in asking better questions and maintaining better processes rather than in raw information access. Everyone will be able to obtain rapid summaries. Fewer will consistently verify, think independently, size positions prudently, and remain invested through volatility. Use AI to raise the quality of your questions and the speed of your initial research. Reserve final judgment, position sizing, and the decision to hold or sell for yourself.
A sustainable practice might include a monthly or quarterly AI-assisted review: paste recent results or news summaries and ask for changes in risk factors or capital allocation. Maintain a personal knowledge base of notes on companies or funds you follow. Periodically ask the model to challenge your existing views with new data. The combination keeps you informed without requiring constant screen time, preserving the emotional distance that supports good temperament.
