Additional uses for AI could include building customised portfolios and identifying market anomalies, although AI was unlikely to be able to predict market movements with accuracy so uncertainty will remain, the report said. Iceland came second and Denmark third in the 2023 index. Reporting by Carolyn Cohn; Editing by Alexander SmithOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.
