How do you suggest you take advantage of an arbitrage opportunity if you have 0 informational insight?
I say this is an arbitrage opportunity because AI is essentially commoditizing human intelligence. It didn't take much brains for people to realize cars could do away with horses. You don't need to understand how a car works down to the formula. It's enough to view it as a black box and still know all the outputs and constraints associated with it in order to orchestrate capital that allows you to seize the business opportunity.
Again, the arbitrage is buying something for cheap and immediately selling it at a higher price...if you can't understand why a deep level understanding of the academia is not necessary in order to capture the opportunity then less competition for me which is great.
But let's indulge your point of view for the sake of the argument. So you've got a black box AI that does something. You know what inputs it needs and what outputs it produces. How do you arbitrage it? What creates the price discrepancy that allows you to arbitrage at all, given that your incapacity to understand the black box renders you unable to gauge its value beyond what the market is telling you?
In that case, why not trade any random commodity?

Its much easier to gain control of markets that are new as opposed to established ones.
That should be enough for you to have an idea what expertise you'd want to hire for.
Granted, it sounds you're just looking for ML scientists or ML engineers. Data Scientist might also be able to help you out, so that's what you want to hire.
