Our new CIO Special – Artificial Intelligence: getting around Moravec’s paradox? – looks at why AI technology is now advancing fast, and the evolution of the sector from an investor’s perspective.

It considers:

  • How data and new technologies are helping to resolve the paradox where AI can handle complex logical problems well – but often struggles with human-style sensory, motor and perception issues
  • The economic impact of AI technologies, how AI investment is changing and how AI adoption presents opportunities for countries to leap-frog ahead
  • The challenges posed by the lack of a regulatory AI framework and a code of ethics for machines, and why this will remain a focus in the medium term

The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and you might not get back the amount originally invested at any point in time. Your capital may be at risk.

No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved. Forecasts are based on assumptions, estimates, opinions and hypothetical models which may prove to be incorrect. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Performance refers to a nominal value based on price gains/losses and does not take into account inflation. Inflation will have a negative impact on the purchasing power of this nominal monetary value. Depending on the current level of inflation, this may lead to a real loss in value, even if the nominal performance of the investment is positive.
