1
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: I'm Huslinda Amen in Singapore where the eleventh Annual Milk

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 2: and the Asia Summit is underway. We want to welcome

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 2: Bloomberg television viewers as well as radio listeners all over

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 2: the world. While joining us now is Ray Dallion, Founder

6
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: and CIO mentor at Bridgewater Associates.

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: Ray, good to have.

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 3: You with us, Good to be here.

9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: Global leaders.

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: They're grappling with a host of issues. But you say

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 2: they are five key factors, forces that are perhaps defining

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: and shaping the globed economy before we get there though,

13
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: Today a big day for the markets, the FED front

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: and center.

15
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: Twenty five or fifty that is a key question.

16
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 2: And I know you said before that you're right sixty

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: five percent of the time when it comes to market.

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: So what's the bet on.

19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 4: I think it's such a silly bet, like twenty five

20
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 4: or fifty. It doesn't make a different. I think that's

21
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 4: the problem with the news cycle and all of this.

22
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 4: They're losing sense of the bigger picture. Okay, Fed policy,

23
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 4: what does the FED have to do? Fed has to

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 4: keep interest rates high enough to satisfy the creditors that

25
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 4: they're going to get a real return without having them

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 4: so high that the debtors have a problem.

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: So, now, if we're.

28
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 4: Looking at this, whether it's twenty five or fifty basis points,

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 4: twenty five basis points is going to be dependent would

30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 4: be the right thing to do if you look at

31
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 4: the whole picture as a whole. If you look at

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 4: the mortgage situation, which is worse and that affects more people,

33
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 4: then it's probably fifty basis point. But let's get beyond that, okay,

34
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 4: and talk about these five big forces. The first of

35
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 4: those forces is the force that you're referring to, which is,

36
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: excuse me, the debt, money, economy, dynamic and force. Okay,

37
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 4: So we have a big debt increase, an enormous amount

38
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 4: of we have an enormous amount of debt and it's

39
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: going to keep increasing and one man's debts or another

40
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 4: man's liabilities.

41
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: Okay, So what is that going to mean for monetary policy? Okay?

42
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 4: As you have to sell more and more of those bonds,

43
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 4: what will be done? I think the same thing is

44
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 4: done in Japan. What happens is there's not going to

45
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 4: be a default. Of course, there won't be a default

46
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 4: but increasingly they have to drive down real interest rates

47
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 4: so that real interest rates are significantly negative. So you're

48
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 4: going to have in order to service the debt, you

49
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 4: have to have a significantly negative real rate, and you

50
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 4: also have to have then the depreciation of the value

51
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 4: of money because inflation arises, so that you have to

52
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 4: have a nominal growth rate in other words, inflation plus

53
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 4: real growth that is above the nominal interest rate, and

54
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 4: you have to have a real interest rate that is negative,

55
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 4: and you have to have a positive slow yield curve,

56
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 4: so that holding bonds is a bad deal.

57
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: What is the state of the US economy?

58
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: I mean, we're talking about twenty five or fifty based

59
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: on the assumptions of how the economy is doing. Okay,

60
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: from the data that we've gotten so far, does it

61
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: justify fifty?

62
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: I mean, what the same.

63
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 4: We have a model for estimating what should be the

64
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 4: economy right now is very very very close to an

65
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 4: equilibrium level in many ways. If you're just looking at

66
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 4: what is and you're not looking at the debt problem,

67
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 4: and it would look like there should be a modest

68
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 4: easing of interest rates and a move gradually to a

69
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 4: more positively sloped yield curve what we would call the normal.

70
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 4: It's fairly normal, except it's not normal in the way

71
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 4: that it's so skewed.

72
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: So if we look at the markets, and.

73
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 4: We look at the way the population's income levels are

74
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 4: for the various sectors, if you look at the bottom

75
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 4: sixty percent, if you look at the politics the left

76
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: and the right, and the nature of what is going

77
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: on the two worlds that we live in in terms

78
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 4: of that of the economy and the values that brings

79
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 4: us to the election. So if we are talking about

80
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 4: let's say monetary policy, you have to look at the

81
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 4: five forces.

82
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: So back to the five forces.

83
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 4: The first force we talked about, the second fourth is

84
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 4: the force of internal order and disorder that progresses in

85
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,239
Speaker 4: a cycle.

86
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: There is hard left and hard right.

87
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: So there's ideological differences that are creating a political situation

88
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 4: that leads us to not only have possibly different policies,

89
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 4: dramatically different policies which will have an effect on the

90
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,559
Speaker 4: economy or have an effect on the markets, but even

91
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 4: worse or more concerning, is that it's conceivable that one

92
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 4: side or another might not accept losing. Okay, so how

93
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: will that will we have an orderly transition of power,

94
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 4: and will we have an orderly democracy in which there's

95
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 4: the ability to have disagreement and resolve of those disagreements.

96
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 4: I think these are really questionable situations. So the second

97
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: force is that internal order disorder force. The third force

98
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 4: is the great power conflict. In other words, throughout history

99
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 4: there's a time when the rising power challenging the existing power,

100
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 4: and there's a world order thing going on. And that

101
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 4: world order thing going on has to do with China,

102
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 4: the United States and so on, And of course it

103
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: becomes even more important than the economy because it is

104
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 4: it's considered national security.

105
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 3: Okay.

106
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 4: The fourth influence is through time, is acts of nature, droughts, floods,

107
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 4: and pandemics, and climate is a big influence.

108
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 3: It's going to cost US eight trillion.

109
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 4: Dollars a year estimated in one way or another in

110
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 4: an world economy that has one hundred trillion. And the

111
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 4: fifth force, of course is technology, okay, Man's inventiveness of technology.

112
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 4: Throughout history, those five forces have interacted.

113
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: So when we look at things, I.

114
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 4: Think that there's the twenty five or fifty basis points.

115
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 3: Let's get beyond that.

116
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 4: Let's look at the whole arc of that in terms

117
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 4: of the changing of all of those five forces and

118
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 4: their inter relationships.

119
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: Let's get back to internal conflict and link it to

120
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: the US elections. How do you see playing out? How

121
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: do you see the next few months fifty days elections?

122
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: How do you see that playing out? Well?

123
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 4: As I say, I think that there's two questions. First,

124
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 4: the question of will we have an orderly transition of power?

125
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 4: That's quite amazing. Will we have democracy work as it is?

126
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 4: That cannot be assured, so because behind all of this

127
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 4: is that we have irreconcilable differences, not just pertaining to

128
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 4: taxes in wealth and economic policies and so, but in

129
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 4: terms of values, you know, it's how do people raise children?

130
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 4: Related to sexuality and all of those things. There are

131
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 4: those gaps. So I think we hope for an orderly

132
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 4: transition of power. Isn't it quite amazing that we would think?

133
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 4: Could we not have that? And then we go beyond that,

134
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 4: and then we say, what about those policies that are

135
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 4: going to be dealt with? Nobody's going to deal with

136
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: the debt policy that's going to end up being monetized

137
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 4: down the path, Then the question is issues of taxation

138
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 4: and those issues of taxation will have an important impact

139
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 4: on the capital markets if they're bought for after tax returns.

140
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 3: By and large, it's the important thing.

141
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 4: You lower corporate income taxes, you a race corporate income taxes.

142
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: It makes a difference to prices.

143
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 4: So we're going to have those issues, a lot of

144
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 4: issues to talk about.

145
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: Regarding the election.

146
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 4: I think when we go beyond that, most likely there

147
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 4: is going to be irreconcilable differences, and I think that

148
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 4: you're going to see more movement to states. So there'll

149
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 4: be a challenge of what does the central government control

150
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 4: and what do the state government's control and is there

151
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 4: an obedience in a sense, So we are coming more

152
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 4: to a fragment and set of circumstances. What we would need,

153
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 4: I think is strong leadership of the middle to bring

154
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: the country together and leave and isolate more of the extremists,

155
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 4: if that was possible, and then to make reforms because

156
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 4: we do have a very skewed type of economy.

157
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: So is that Kamala Harris.

158
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 3: There's no.

159
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 4: I don't think it's either of the candidates. Okay, I

160
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 4: don't think it's no. It's not either of the candidates.

161
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 4: I think that the issue of reform, strong leadership in

162
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 4: the middle.

163
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 3: I don't see it.

164
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: We've been talking about a changing global order. China comes

165
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: to mind automatically. The conversation right now is a massive

166
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: slowdown in China, economic malaise. But people seem to be

167
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: missing the point that amidst all the slowdown, China is

168
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 2: still innovating renewables evs.

169
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: How are you assessity.

170
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 4: I think that there are real issues in China now

171
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 4: and they changed really in the last for years, and

172
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 4: that is that they need a restructuring. A lot of

173
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 4: the spending, well, let's say individuals seventy percent of their

174
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 4: money was in real estate. Real estate has gone down,

175
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 4: stocks have gone down, salaries have gone down, and as

176
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 4: a result, they're not spending and they're concerned, and they're

177
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 4: holding money in cash. The deflation. Cash is a relatively

178
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 4: good asset class. That's kind of the household and the

179
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 4: business sector is in that state. At the same time,

180
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 4: you have the government sector is a problem because most

181
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 4: of the government's spending eighty three percent of government spending

182
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 4: is spent by local governments. Those local governments got their

183
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 4: money by selling land for real estate.

184
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 3: Okay, there are no land sales, and they.

185
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 4: Borrowed a lot of money, and for those that they

186
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 4: borrowed the money don't get paid. And so the question

187
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 4: is how are you going to get money into those

188
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 4: places to up rate. It's a situation that's more challenging

189
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 4: than Japan in nineteen ninety. It needs a restructuring in

190
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 4: order to be able to do that. And then there's

191
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 4: also the question is the property values, the property, the

192
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 4: property ownership, is it respected? And dengshall Ping Juring his

193
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 4: period said it's glorious to be rich.

194
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 3: Is it still glorious to be rich?

195
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 4: So you have an environment in China which is changing

196
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 4: and becoming a more difficult environment. So it's the time

197
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 4: right now that you would see either is there going

198
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 4: to be a restructuring and getting past that? The innovation, Yes,

199
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 4: there's fantastic innovation in terms of technology, there's nothing likely

200
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 4: other than in the United States. Europe certainly isn't a

201
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 4: competitor in that. However, it's very much government directed. Can

202
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 4: there still be entrepreneurship and that inventiveness? These are the

203
00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 4: big cosmic question.

204
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: Given the environment that you have just painted for us,

205
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 2: it's China still the place to do business is China

206
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: still the destination for your investment money. You've said time

207
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: and again that you should be investing.

208
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 4: Yes, I just want to be clear about the investing

209
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 4: in China. In all countries, there are cycles and ups

210
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 4: and downs and so on, and in no country should

211
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 4: you invest so much money that it becomes a dominant

212
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 4: portion of your portfolio. So in China, I still invest

213
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 4: in China. The question is the size of the investment

214
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 4: and how that investment is structured. So it's been a

215
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 4: good experience for us to invest.

216
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: The size and what's how are you invested?

217
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: Because reports suggesting that Bridgewater, for instance, has been cutting

218
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: down its exposure to China's holding, it's.

219
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 3: Not my place to talk about bridge works.

220
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: How do you see how do you see investing in China?

221
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 4: I see investing in China as largely a very attractively

222
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 4: priced place that now has a lot of questions regarding

223
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 4: the issues that I've just referred to, in other words,

224
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 4: the economic issues and the political issues regarding property rights

225
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 4: and whether it's still glorious to be rich and how

226
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 4: that will work. Therefore, there's a small percentage of our

227
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 4: portfolio which is in China, and we'll stay in China.

228
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 3: You know through this process.

229
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: One of big forces shaping the world today is technology.

230
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: Ai Jenei, You're big on it. You're looking at a

231
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: bot so that people can have access and have conversations

232
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: with you. I mean, what is the potential And of

233
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 2: course if it's technology, technology.

234
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: Goes wrong, your bots could go rogue.

235
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 2: I mean, how are you assessing you know, the risks

236
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: as well as the rewards the benefits of AI and

237
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 2: jen Ai.

238
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 4: Well, for the last thirty five years, I've written down

239
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 4: principles and decision rules, literally many thousands of those I

240
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 4: and they have operated as systems, decision making systems, and

241
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 4: that now I'm very excited about that because I've but

242
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 4: you have to train them very well. Because it's been

243
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 4: all so specified over a period of time.

244
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 3: It is very educational.

245
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 4: I've then taken a large team of people and gone

246
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 4: through asking it questions and dealing with it and training it.

247
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 3: And the reason is a lot of people ask me questions.

248
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 4: I'm going to phase in my life where my main

249
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 4: objective is to pass along what I've had that it's

250
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: a benefit to others, and we interact such as this

251
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: kind of conversation, and I thought it would be great

252
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 4: if there could be I could answer all those questions,

253
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 4: or we could have discussions how are you doing and

254
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 4: all that.

255
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 3: So that's what I've created.

256
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 4: It's called Digital Ray, at least that's the tentative name,

257
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 4: and we're beta testing it. We're going to have several

258
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 4: thousand people tested and see how that goes. Will move forward,

259
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 4: But I think it's exciting when you have you need

260
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 4: to have computerized decision making working with you because the

261
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 4: time of making all those decisions in your head, that's obsolete.

262
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 4: You know, the smart person who thinks I can weigh

263
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 4: everything in my head, they're obsolete. Nowadays you have to

264
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 4: have a partner in terms of those decisions making with the.

265
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: Computer ray final thirty seconds.

266
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: We also know that Jenny I sucks of energy, they

267
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: say as much as a small country sually.

268
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 4: That is a concern, of course, it's an important concern.

269
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 3: The real question is it's productivity.

270
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 4: I think a lot of attension, a lot of the

271
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 4: finances have been in the development with the superscalers. I

272
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 4: think the real opportunities are going to come in terms

273
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 4: of the users and how that's going to change productivity.

274
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 4: In fact, probably invent ways that technology wouldn't be so.

275
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: Much right, We have to live in there. Great conversation.
