Ray Dalio says his AI clone will be able to give you investment and career insights whenever you want

The billionaire hedge fund founder’s wealth of experience will soon be accessible to users thanks to his new AI clone. Ray digitalwhich will provide consumers with training, guidance and guidance.

Write on Xthe Bridgewater Associates founder said he was excited about the prospect of being cloned because it would allow him to “have unlimited conversations with people I didn’t have the time to have previously.”

In announcing the clone — which currently has a waiting list to join its beta trial — Dalio said the move was a natural extension of the computing partners he’s been developing at Bridgewater for decades that helped make the decision.

Using AI in some form — even before LLM’s post-ChatGPT boom — to help with investment strategy and decisions is commonplace on Wall Street, but Dalio is the first among his peers to launch an accessible advice platform. LinkedIn Reid Hoffman, co-founder and technology investor, previously revealed his “digital twin,” but that is not available for public conversation.

Dalio’s goal is to make his experiences and ideas accessible to everyone. he Added on X: “Sharing everything I have learned, everything I do, and everything I imagine is consistent with my current main goal in life, which is to pass on what I have that can be of value to others.”

He added that this includes not only his experience in the financial world, but also his experience training robots: “I think I have a good idea of ​​what (AI clones) can do for both a) those who use digital clones to access the thinking of cloned individuals, and b) the individual being cloned who wants to use the digital clone as a thought partner.”

Developing AI versions of high-profile individuals like Dalio comes with risks. LLMs are known to hallucinate incorrect or inappropriate answers, and have guardrails against this. Researchers have proven that it can be bypassed. For Dalio’s experience to be replicated with Digital Ray, which will be able to talk to users through text and voice, the stakes are high.

I create an AI version of myself to have unlimited conversations with everyone who cares. I also do it because creating and getting a copy of an AI and pushing the boundaries of what it can do is exciting and practical to me.

If you want to try this first version of my AI… — Ray Dalio (@RayDalio) October 20, 2025

But Dalio said he began work on an LLM that eventually became an AI clone in 2022, uploading decades’ worth of data first collected at Bridgewater. Dalio added that the bot “does not hallucinate,” and continued: “Based on reviews from those who have used it, you will find that both the thinking and the communications you will get from Digital Ray in these conversations are virtually indistinguishable from those you will get directly from me.”

In fact: “According to those who have tested it, talking to me about life and work is about 95% as good because it has been well-trained in my life and work principles. It is about 80% as good as talking to me about markets, investing, economics, politics, and geopolitics.”

Dalio said this ranking in markets and investing is likely to rise, as he is training clones on these topics at present. In fact, he’s already asking his supporters for help on what the clone has to learn. Writing on LinkedIn earlier this week, the man is worth $19.4 billion According to Bloomberg He invited followers to ask questions in the comment which could be used as prompts to improve the bot.

The downside of AI iteration

While fans of Dalio’s strategy—and those looking for a new sounding board—may appreciate its replication, the rise of AI cloning presents problems for high-profile, high-profile individuals.

In Dalio’s case, his copy is reproduced with his full consent and support, but this is not always the case. Zelda Williams, daughter of Oscar-winning actor and comedian Robin Williams, issued a sharp rebuke to her fans who… Constantly sent videos generated by artificial intelligence To her father after his death.

“Please, stop sending AI videos to my father.” Williams wrote on Instagram Earlier this month. “Stop thinking I want to see it or that I’ll understand it. I don’t and I won’t.”

Williams added: “If you’re just trying to troll me, and I’ve seen worse, I’m going to put the brakes on it and move on. But please, if you have any decency, stop doing this to him and me, and even everyone, absolutely. It’s stupid, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, that’s not what he wants.”

And also actress Scarlett Johansson He said last year It had to hire a legal team to handle OpenAI’s ChatGPT voice, which sounded like a Hollywood star. Johansson said In a statement republished on X, formerly Twitter, CEO Sam Altman called her last September and asked her to be the voice actor for ChatGPT 4.0. Johansson declined Altman’s offer, only to hear from friends, family and audiences nine months later that “Sky” sounded exactly like her own.

In a statement to luckAltman said that Skye’s voice is not Johansson’s “and was never intended to resemble her voice. We cast the voice actor behind Skye’s voice prior to any communication with Ms. Johansson. Out of respect for Ms. Johansson, we have temporarily stopped using Skye’s voice in our productions. We apologize to Ms. Johansson that we did not communicate better.”
