According to a report earlier in June, AI startups were competing for Fidelity Investments. In an interview, Chief Information Officer Mihir Shah stated that artificial intelligence businesses may benefit from Fidelity’s massive data repository, which included decades’ worth of online transaction records, customer call transcripts, and in-person client interaction reports.
