Artificial intelligence surpasses TikTok and Facebook as a source of investment information

A new tool has gained ground among investors: artificial intelligence. According to Money Times, 9% of Brazilians already use AI to search for information about investments, and this use surpasses that of TikTok and Facebook for the same purpose. The data appears in the Brazilian Investor X-Ray, an Anbima survey.

The edition is the first of the survey to include questions about the use of artificial intelligence, which makes the number a starting point for following the trend. The Money Times report does not detail all the cuts, but informs that the rates vary depending on the profile of the interviewee.

Among men, the use of AI for this purpose reaches 67%, and in classes A and B, 58%. The Money Times does not explain the basis for calculating these two percentages, which requires caution when comparing them with the general rate of 9%.

When the focus shifts to the behavior of those who already use AI, the picture changes. Among these investors, 77% invest in a diversified portfolio of assets, while 23% invest only in savings, according to Money Times.

What is at stake goes beyond technological curiosity. When a consultation tool starts to be used more than wide-reaching social networks to form opinions about investments, the habit of checking sources and understanding what is behind each answer gains weight.

What changes for the investor

For investors, the survey suggests a decision-making process that is increasingly digital and increasingly sought after for information. In the editorial reading of this newspaper, which defends fiscal responsibility and free markets, expanding access to financial knowledge is an advance, as long as it is accompanied by one's own discernment. The data released does not provide any indication about the behavior of asset prices, and this text does not make projections for the stock market, the Nasdaq, interest rates or the dollar.
