every · x · 2026-08-26
Walleye Capital, a hedge fund managing nearly $10 billion, has made AI fluency a job requirement for all 400 employees. CEO Will England expects everyone across investing, accounting, finance, compliance, and legal to use AI to work faster. He leads by example, opening firm-wide emails by admitting he used ChatGPT to write them. England compares refusing AI to refusing the internet in 1995. The podcast discusses why he's betting the organization on AI and how Walleye uses AI for drafting memos and selecting stocks.
