Citadel, Bridgewater and Man Group describe how they use AI agents, and where they draw the line
○ Auto-checkedReported
At a Bloomberg conference in New York, executives from Citadel, Bridgewater and Man Group described how they use AI. Some Citadel investing teams have built AI agent clones of themselves that do independent research, while Citadel and Bridgewater stressed keeping agents sandboxed because they can't yet be trusted outside the firm. Man Group's CIO warned against 'cognitive surrender' to the tools.
