David Booth, a prominent investor, argues that while Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents a significant technological leap akin to the transition from ice blocks to refrigerators, it will not fundamentally alter how stock and bond markets operate. He posits that public markets function as highly efficient information processing machines, where prices are set by the collective agreement of buyers and sellers based on available information. Booth suggests that AI, even if it enhances information gathering, will likely benefit all market participants equally, adding noise rather than predictive power for individual investors. He also cautions against investing solely in AI-focused companies, drawing parallels to the Dot Com bubble where infrastructure providers did not necessarily become long-term market leaders. AI
