Billionaire investor Ray Dalio has unveiled "digital Ray" - his artificial intelligence-based clone. The Bridgewater Associates founder claims that the AI doppelganger reproduces his way of thinking with high accuracy and will be able to give advice to everyone. Last week, Ray Dalio offered to ask him questions to train Digital Ray: the most popular topics were the gold rally and bitcoin investments.

"I'm launching my AI clone to have unlimited conversations with anyone who is interested," Dalio wrote on Social Network X. - I'm also doing this because it's both fun and practical for me to create and use such a doppelganger, pushing the boundaries of its capabilities." Digital Ray has now entered the beta testing phase, the billionaire said, and invited subscribers to apply for the test.

According to the billionaire, the digital clone he has been creating over the years differs from conventional AI assistants and large language models (LLMs) in that it reflects his personal values, views and preferences. "If you want to hear my opinion on something, rather than the general thoughts that an LLM will give you, you need to ask me or my AI doppelganger, not a language model," Dalio explained.

The founder of Bridgewater Associates said that his team trained the digital twin on materials he had created over 40 years - texts with decision-making principles and answers to questions posed to him. Dalio claims that the "digital Ray" is only 5% inferior to himself in giving advice on work and life topics and 80% identical to the original when discussing markets and geopolitics.

What Dalio says about AI.

Dalio, whose fortune Bloomberg estimates at $19.2 billion, has previously voiced concerns that AI could exacerbate inequality by benefiting only the wealthiest and pushing millions of workers out of the profession. He has also warned against blindly investing in "hot" areas like AI, drawing parallels between the boom in AI investment and the dot-com bubble.

But in introducing Digital Ray, Dalio said that the merging of human intelligence with artificial intelligence is the most exciting thing happening right now: "Together, they can make extraordinarily effective decisions that neither humans without AI nor AI without humans can make."

On October 15, Dalio invited X users to ask him questions - with the goal of training an AI clone. The post garnered almost 800 comments: most users were interested in gold and the state of the US economy. In addition, the Bridgewater founder also received many questions about bitcoin, the largest currency in the world by market capitalization.
