Welcome to the Money Talks News Podcast.

In this episode, we're talking about investing in artificial intelligence, as well as using AI tools to become a more successful investor.

The hype around artificial intelligence has been insane, with some calling it the greatest game-changer since the invention of the internet or even electricity!

Is it true? Is AI that big a deal? And if so, should we be investing in the companies developing it? And how do we go about harnessing AI to make better investment decisions?

We're going to answer both those questions, and more, in this podcast.

As usual, host Stacy Johnson is joined by financial journalist Miranda Marquit. Listening in and sometimes contributing is producer Aaron Freeman. This week's guest is Kevin Matthews, a former investment advisor and the founder of Building Bread, an investment education website.

Remember, even though we sometimes talk about money and specific investments on this show, don't take them as recommendations. Before investing in anything or making any money moves, do your own research and make your own decisions.
