And then it doesn't stop there, but it has to be embedded in a proper investment ecosystem.

So we had to take our platform to the regulator.

We actually volunteered to do that because still, you know, there isn't much regulation around how a computer trades stocks.

But we had a good discussion with the regulator Finmar in Switzerland.

about, guys, this is what we do.

What do you think we need to improve to be more compliant?

And then again, we're a bunch of wonderful techies who can make these things, but we are not licensed traders and we are not licensed investment managers.

So we had to bring in the licensed investment managers, the licensed traders, train them on the platform, give them access to it.

So I think what we did, and I actually think this is prudent, I think this is the right thing to do, is...

We didn't attempt to disrupt the financial investment field.

We attempted to fit into the ecosystem because AI disrupting is something we all get very excited about.

But again, disrupting an investment process isn't necessarily the smartest thing to do.

Because the way an investment process has been built over many, many years, the regulation, the people, the licensing, what you can and cannot trade, the compliance, those elements of a human in the loop is what makes a lot of our investments incredibly safe.

So we took the stance that actually disrupting it with AI isn't the smartest way forward.

We'd rather fit into that ecosystem because that enables us to safeguard the investments of our clients.

So we sort of operate around something we call the three S's in our company, sense, seize, and safeguard.

So a lot of the sensing and seizing happens through the computers, through the artificial intelligence.

All safeguarding happens through the standard investment ecosystem and humans in the loop that regulate that process and ensure we don't lose money for our clients.

So this is interesting.

This is not an automatic platform, but it's more like a helper, assistant, co-pilot, partner, what you say nowadays, to people who trade.
