Bridgewater’s Greg Jensen Calls for Regulating AI Firms Like Systemically Important Banks

Greg Jensen, co–chief investment officer at Bridgewater Associates, thinks the top holders of AI compute warrant extra regulation, similar to what governs the world’s biggest financial institutions.

If a company controls more than, say, 5% of U.S. or global compute, it should be subject to heightened oversight, “like we do with systemically important banks,” Jensen said. In a wide-ranging interview, he also discussed Bridgewater’s growing use of AI in investing and where it still remains cautious, including leaving risk controls and trade execution to what he called “human-driven algorithms.”
