MDOTM and OpenAI together to improve AI Explainability

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the Democratization of AI has granted access to its power to everyone; in other words, such technology is no longer used just by those who develop it. However, leveraging it effectively goes beyond simply utilizing its capabilities; understanding AI, especially in the investment industry, holds paramount importance. Investment professionals must possess a comprehensive understanding of AI's inner workings and this becomes the bedrock for responsible and informed decision-making.

This is where AI explainability comes into play: by enhancing it through the integration of ChatGPT commentary within Sphere, MDOTM is taking a significant step towards enabling investment professionals to fully comprehend and harness the potential of Artificial Intelligence.

Using the platform, they can now receive AI-generated commentaries on their portfolios, providing a comprehensive understanding of the portfolio's risk-return profile, positioning, and exposure to various risk factors, offering detailed explanations and interpretations of the portfolio's performance drivers.

In addition to this, the AI-powered commentaries generated by ChatGPT can highlight specific areas of strength or weakness within the portfolio, identify potential risks, and suggest potential adjustments or optimization strategies. This helps investment professionals take proactive actions to enhance portfolio performance.

Integrating OpenAI’s technology into Sphere means providing investment professionals with a deeper understanding of the rationale and risk factors involved in their investment processes. This understanding enhances transparency, trust, and accountability in the decision-making process, allowing institutional investors to evaluate and validate the AI-generated insights and make well-informed investment decisions.
