The Curious Quant series, hosted by Dr Michael Kollo, is a very discussion that explores the role of data, AI and humanity within investing in financial markets. It examines the application of new data and new methodologies has been deployed and considered over the years, including Generative AI. Michael Kollo has a PhD in Finance is from the London School of Economics where he lectured in quantitative finance in addition to Imperial College and at the University of New South Wales. He has created models and led quantitative research teams at Blackrock, Fidelity and Axa Rosenberg in the UK before more recently moving to Australia where he established the quantitative team for the $50 billion industry superannuation fund, HESTA. The aim is to promote better discussions about these emerging areas, and a better understanding of new technologies for practitioners and academics alike.

This is the first episode of a short series I am calling : Conversations with a super-intelligence.

They are live recorded conversations with the most advanced AI systems we have, asking about its nature, its reasoning systems, and how it considers what it does. For the first episode, we will be talking with 'it' about its nanture, what it is, how it behaves and how it 'thinks'.

It is goes deep into what is intelligence, what is the nature of collective intelligence, of will, and how this entity will impact humanity (according to it).
