Goldman Sachs Asset Management Launches AI Investing Platform
Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM) has made a significant move in the world of artificial intelligence (AI) with the launch of its AI investing platform, AlphaAI. This innovative platform is poised to revolutionize the way investments are made by harnessing the power of AI to drive returns across public and private market businesses.
Lou D’Ambrosio, a seasoned expert in AI and investment, will lead AlphaAI as chairman of Artificial Intelligence for Asset Management. With a wealth of experience in leading the Value Accelerator, which he founded in 2018, and serving as CEO of both private and public companies, D’Ambrosio brings a unique perspective to the table.
‘We believe AI is both reshaping industries and acting as a force multiplier in how we invest,’ said Marc Nachmann, global head of Goldman’s asset and wealth management arm, in a recent internal memo. This sentiment is echoed by D’Ambrosio, who emphasized that AI will drive greater dispersion within sectors, not just across them, and that this isn’t necessarily reflected in prices.
AlphaAI is built to identify these opportunities, drawing on the breadth of GSAM’s public and private markets business, as well as the knowledge gained from its portfolio companies – where it already has over 100 scaled AI use cases. This cutting-edge platform is poised to make a significant impact in the world of investments.
As the AI investing landscape continues to evolve, it’s clear that companies like Goldman Sachs are committed to staying at the forefront of innovation. With the launch of AlphaAI, GSAM is solidifying its position as a leader in the industry.
The proliferation of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on AI is a testament to the growing interest in this space. Even as it remains unclear which companies will emerge as the long-term winners from the latest technology revolution, one thing is certain – the future of investing is being shaped by AI.
According to data from Morningstar, funds and ETFs domiciled in the U.S. investing in the AI theme manage a total of $40.5 billion. Defiance Quantum ETF, which manages $4.88 billion and focuses on quantum computing, machine learning, and enabling technologies, is among the largest funds.
