Yeah, so I am a hedge fund manager.

I started my hedge fund, Numerai, in San Francisco in December 2015.

Before that, I studied mathematics, and I was very, very interested in AI from a very early age.

And in 2012,

Some of the key breakthroughs happened with self-driving cars and things like that.

You could really see that this would be a really good thing to kind of bet on in the future.

But Numero, we're a quant hedge fund.

So we trade stocks using AI.

We don't simply invest in AI companies.

Although pretty much every company is in some way entangled with AI.

So it has a lot to do with us.

So, yeah, I mean, we're trying to make alpha, which is kind of a technical term.

Like we can't take any market risk.

We can't take any factor risk.

We can't go off on anything we think is, you know, something's going to be big.

OK, we can't invest in that except for through our strategy, which is a low volatility strategy.

The fund has been growing a lot.

Assets are up.

100% a year for two years now.

Congratulations.
