According to a Barclays survey, safe haven funds and asset managers are increasingly using AI when investing in global credit markets, but at least for now, this technology has yet to replace human traders. The survey found that AI has gone beyond the stage of experimental and scattered applications and is gradually becoming popular among various investors. However, its main use is still focused on research, securities screening and analysis, and it plays a supporting role rather than replacing human judgment. Strategists Zornitsa Todorova and Andrea Diaz Lafuente wrote in a report on Thursday that overall, AI is expected to reshape roles and workflows rather than drastically reduce manpower in the short term. They pointed out that the mainstream view is that productivity will be higher if the number of employees remains generally stable. Barclays last month surveyed 410 buyer institutional investors in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia. Only 7% of respondents expected large-scale layoffs.
