The Deep View: For some young people, AI is the ‘daily driver’

For some young people, AI is the ‘daily driver’
For young people using AI to think through their finances, retail trading is increasingly likely to come up in conversation.


Retail investing flows grew by 50% between 2023 and 2025, according to JPMorgan data, and investment platform adoption has seen a sharp uptick among people in their twenties. Increasingly, these young investors form their trading strategies with the help of chatbots.
“We’re seeing people using Surf as their daily driver for investment advice for how they want to find opportunities in crypto markets,” Ryan Li, co-founder and CEO of AI crypto trading platform Surf, said. He added that Surf uses custom models in which the data input is curated, so the AI produces higher-quality outputs for users — and, in theory, hallucinates less. 
If Harvey and Open Evidence can be valued in the billions for domain-specific AI businesses, then a similar business could be sold to traders, Li said. He also argued that Surf’s AI model can surface insights and strategies that users couldn’t otherwise find.
And if AI trading companions are going to have legs, fine-tuned vertical startups may be needed, because whether it’s trading or running a vending machine, frontier models aren’t always the best with money.
