According to PANews, Warren Buffett stated at the shareholder meeting that he does not plan to center all investments around artificial intelligence (AI).

Jain remarked that AI will significantly disrupt the insurance and risk pricing sectors. However, Berkshire will adopt a 'wait-and-see' approach in applying AI within the insurance field, refraining from committing substantial resources or capital to seize this opportunity. Jain also noted that many people are spending large sums chasing the next trend in AI, but Berkshire is not adept at being a pioneer in the latest popular developments.#WarrenBuffett #AIInvestments #ShareholderMeeting #Reinsurance #InsuranceIndustry #RiskPricing #WaitAndSee #BerkshireHathaway
