Hi everybody and welcome to Invested. I'm Danielle Town. Quick little vignette with Nuno today

because we're going to get into the how to use AI for investing next week. But I wanted

to grab him because to me his learning machine learning and AI and essentially teaching

it to himself is really analogous to our practice of investing and our ongoing either self-taught

or taught through this podcast or taught through books or however any of us are learning. We're

all doing it on the side on the weekends in the evenings when we're tired, which is exactly

what Nuno did with AI and I find it impressive that every single one of us has done that.

You know, first of all, welcome back. Thank you. Thanks for having me.

And we're passing the microphone back and forth between us in my tiny little recording office here.

So quickly, tell me about what made you decide to spend those nights and weekends and free time

learning this whole new project.

Okay, so for me, there were two factors influencing that decision. So one was an affinity.

I did have an affinity with a topic. My background not being that of a computer scientist that

I'm an economist by training, but I had all that foundational knowledge of econometrics and

statistics. I've been to statistics for a while at university that I was just interested in.

And you did provide me that affinity. Second was there was a business rationale for me to do it.

In that, I'm helping my client as a management consultant. I'm helping my clients with, you know,

high-level strategic questions. And I always, whereas I've always used statistics in helping

myself answering those, I thought I could do more more with data, more with advanced techniques

like machine learning. And that's why for me, it became an investment now worthwhile undertaking.

What about personally, though? Like, I imagine there were probably multiple ways that you could have

improved your offering to clients. Why this? Were you just interested? Like, what grabbed you
