内容简介：Many retail investment platforms have introduced artificial intelligence （AI） analysts to help individual investors gather insights and evaluate investment products. Yet, there is scant empirical effort examining the business impact of such an AI tool on individual investors' financial market investments. To fill this gap, we collaborate with Ant Fortune （an affiliate of Alibaba）, the largest retail investment platform in China, and explore a unique dataset wherein an AI analyst was introduced to facilitate individual investors’ investment activity. Our analyses provide the first empirical evidence showing that individual investors who use the AI analyst perform more manual investment sessions and invest more than those who do not use the AI tool. Interestingly, our further analyses document both positive and negative effects across heterogeneous investor groups.
