Ryan Nauman interviews 3AI CEO Jacob Ayres-Thomson on Zephyr’s Adjusted for Risk podcast, exploring how AI is transforming wealth management from theory to real-world investment application. Jacob explains 3AI’s “Alpha Intelligence” platform, which uses predictive analytics to generate equity insights for investors, models, and AI-driven indices.
