- Researchers recently studied two fundamentally different approaches to AI-assisted investment decision making: www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear...
- In the first approach, AI generated recommendations for investors to review. In the second, investors developed their own investment thesis first then received feedback on their reasoning from the AI.Jun 25, 2025 07:20
- The difference in outcomes was striking. The second approach, where AI built on investors’ own ideas, led to better portfolio diversification, fewer but more strategic trades, and significantly higher satisfaction: 67% versus 43%.
- Ben Shneiderman, author of the book 'Human-Centered AI', argues that the choice between human control and computer automation is a false dichotomy. They are actually orthogonal dimensions creating four distinct regions.
- The sweet spot (except for predictable, routine tasks) combines high automation with high human control. He calls these systems "reliable, safe and trustworthy”.
- As leader of JUXT’s AI Chapter, I’ve observed for myself how easy it is for us fall into ‘vibe coding’, accepting AI suggestions uncritically and gradually losing our situational awareness.
- Yet AI has also scaffolded our own understanding of new frameworks with examples and visualisations, and facilitated debate about competing designs before we commit.
- The flexible nature of current AI interfaces means we choose our relationship with it via our prompts: an autonomous assistant, a reasoning partner, and everything in between.
- Are you sure you know which are the ‘predictable and routine’ tasks which can be safely delegated? Are you practicing reliable, safe, and trustworthy #AI use?
