AI is everywhere in markets, but is it actually changing how great investors pick stocks? Bryce and Alec sit down with Armina Rosenberg, co-founder and portfolio manager at Minotaur Capital, to unpack how her team uses AI across idea generation, research, financial modelling, thesis validation and risk management.

From spotting structural change across thousands of articles to testing whether SaaS stocks are facing an AI reckoning, we take a practical look at where AI is genuinely useful, where humans still have the edge, and how everyday investors can start using it without switching their brain off.
