Whether we like it or not, AI and ChatGPT are here, and they’re not going away. Most of us forget that AI has actually been around for years. While there’s plenty of potential and room for progress with AI, there are many concerns about what AI means for our finances, and that’s what we’ll be covering today.
We’re honored to have Jim Rickards on the podcast today. Jim is an economist, Wall Street veteran, former DOD advisor, and bestselling author of The New Great Depression and Currency Wars. We discussed Jim’s newest book, MoneyGPT, the future of AI in financial markets, and its ripple effects on your portfolio.
We explore the pros and cons of AI in the financial world. From hedge funds outsourcing decisions to AI to potential market meltdowns driven by algorithms, Jim lays out what’s at stake—and how you can protect yourself. We also dive into how AI intertwines with national security and why decision-making matters more than ever.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your 401(k) or investment portfolio is ready for the AI-driven future, this episode is for you.
In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:
- The impact AI and ChatGPT could have on saving for retirement.
- Why Jim believes that a new world of AI isn’t all doom and gloom.
- How hedge funds use AI to pick stocks.
- Why the lack of human empathy from AI is a valid concern with critical decisions.
- Jim’s advice for the new administration on how to protect investors against a run on banks and financial markets.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
