This is strange as the sector has been spooked by AI uptake.
But likes of LIO have AI embedded so it’s actually a cost saving and an efficiency gain. But the market view is anyone can do it with AI.
However, I don’t believe that is the case.
Just using AI to give dividend dates is problematic. Google and ChatGPT can’t even agree on them and both have been wrong!
AI is complementary imo.
What the market is missing is the huge savings that AI will bring to customer service centre type ops. Like insurers, call centers. I have mentioned this on the PHNX BB several times. There are huge efficiencies about to be realised from AI.
DLG’s AI bots outscored humans in customer trials consistently and they don’t work 9-5!
I see LIO as a beneficiary and more so if you buy it and combine models making further savings in a field where market share by accretion will be necessary to survive.
This early price action needs some TR1’s to substantiate speculation but then there could be fireworks!
Well up here now at last!
