Half of the Romanian investors in retail want to invest in AI

Half of the retail investors in Romania (50%) plan to have shares in AI and only 18% state they are interested in this technology, shows a survey made in 13 countries.  The survey eToro Retail Investor Beat shows, at the same time, the fact that over a quarter of the Romanian investors (27%) already allocate budgets for the implementation in Artificial Intelligence.   In this context, an eToro analysis shows that the exhibition of this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) of Las Vegas is about artificial intelligence, especially about the type of unseen technology.Thus, the AI presence inside a car is manifested through a setting or through a small indictor signalling 'AI' on the front of the device.   Similarly, the producers of electronics have decided to place artificial intelligence directly in the living room, and LG and Samsung presented AI assistants, in fact small robots capable to understand vocal commands and achieve simple tasks. They look a bit like droids in Star Wars.   According to the quoted source, the artificial intelligence robot Ballie from Samsung was presented for the first time in 2020 but it came back this year at CES with an incorporated projector.   'The new version is made as a companion, an entertainment device and a watch dog with the help of its frontal and rear cameras. Ballie can watch you through the house, it can come when called and he even can welcome you to the door. The robot has the capacity to detect human presence and adjust its projection to the best visibility angle possible. The robot has three wheels which allow it to move through the house' the specialty analysis mentions.   In its turn, LG presented its own company robot, named Smart Home AI Agent. Practically the device relies on  automated learning to understand the context so that it could offer personalised moving answers for each member of the family.  The robot is fed with a model of artificial intelligence generative language ' so that you can discuss with it while you are doing your house chores, but it would not fold your laundry' the specialists say.   'While 2023 was the Chat GPT year and pushed the share prices up in the case of the technology companies, 2024 starts to shape like the year bringing an extension of the stock exchange performance and a rotation towards the segments more sensitive to the light landing of the economy and the reduction of the interest rates, sectors which were left behind last year.The technological sector could be left behind, but it would still manage.Lower rates for interests will support the evaluations already high of the companies, while the perspective of growth of the profits of two figures are supported by this extension of the adoption and multiplication of the cases of artificial intelligence use', explains the eToro analyst, Bogdan Maioreanu.   eToro is a social platform for trading and investments allowing the users to extend their knowledge and theri income as part of a global community of investors.
