Wall Street veterans say AI trade is spooking them

The WSJ story describes a group of veteran finance pros discussing their concerns about AI’s impact on the markets during a Wall Street camp outing.

In a report on Wall Street’s outside-the-office culture, WSJ Markets says veteran finance pros gathered at a “wilderness camp” and shared worries about the artificial intelligence trade.

The outlet frames the conversations around day-to-day moments like fishing outings and poker games, with attendees describing that they felt spooked by AI’s role in financial markets.

According to WSJ Markets, the campers’ exchange centered on broader unease about where the AI trade is headed rather than any single company outcome.
