Speed is everything in investing—but is it actually the enemy of wealth? We’re conditioned to trust human advisors, but what if your portfolio manager, tax expert, and risk officer was a cold, calculating AI?

Howie Lim speaks with 8FIGURES founder Andrew Izyumov to ask: can AI truly cure emotional trading habits, or is it just an "artificial sycophant"? Should we let an algorithm manage your future?

Synopsis: Every Monday, The Business Times breaks down useful financial tips.

Highlights:

01:04 The trust gap

04:01 The incentive trap

08:43 When AI agents disagree

11:28 AI calms investors?
