Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that enables machines to mimic human thinking and learning, allowing them to analyze information, recognize patterns, and make decisions. For investors, AI matters because it can improve how businesses operate, create new products, or identify opportunities faster and more accurately than humans alone, potentially impacting company success and market trends.

Portfolio management is the process of selecting, organizing, and overseeing a collection of investments to achieve specific financial goals. It involves making decisions about where to put money, balancing risk and reward, and adjusting the mix of investments over time, much like a gardener tending to different plants to ensure a healthy, thriving garden.
