  • Shallow and misleading

    No, Indonesia will not be ‘paying 19% tariffs’, because tariffs are a tax paid by the importer (in the US), which most of us know. Please don’t reinforce the false narrative!

    Massively irritating. If there was any actual economic information, it was buried under the excessive tatting around.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q+A: Can AI really make you a better investor?
Q: Do you think it'll get there?
Platkov says the high volatility around expected market returns makes them difficult to predict reliably. Although some sophisticated models work on certain signals, he says they are not yet ready to guide investment decisions.
Q+A: Can AI really make you a better investor?
Q: Surely, we can solve decades-old maths problems. Surely, AI can make us better investors. What do you reckon?
Platkov says AI can improve operational efficiency, but research has found meaningful limitations in using it to time markets and predict profitable investment patterns.
Q+A: The cost of waiting to embrace AI
Q: For a business owner who has only dipped a toe into AI, what's the one thing they should do this week?
Haupter recommends identifying the business's biggest problem and asking a friend or partner to help solve it using AI.
Q+A: The cost of waiting to embrace AI
Q: How does Australian small-business AI adoption compare with other countries?
Haupter says Australia is ahead of the curve in AI adoption, with high curiosity among small businesses about changing their operations with technology.
Q+A: Is this the answer to Australia's financial advice shortage?
Q: Can AI and other technology make financial advice cheaper?
McCarthy says it may not necessarily reduce prices, but could make services available to more Australians and help people with less complex needs access suitable advice.
