Greg Jensen, coβchief investment officer at Bridgewater Associates, thinks the top holders of AI compute warrant extra regulation, similar to what governs the worldβs biggest financial institutions.
If a company controls more than, say, 5% of U.S. or global compute, it should be subject to heightened oversight, βlike we do with systemically important banks,β Jensen said. In a wide-ranging interview, he also discussed Bridgewaterβs growing use of AI in investing and where it still remains cautious, including leaving risk controls and trade execution to what he called βhuman-driven algorithms.β
