Abstract
Abstract Using a novel measure of investment companies’ reliance on generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), we document a sharp increase in GenAI usage by hedge funds after ChatGPT’s 2022 launch. A difference-in-differences test shows that hedge funds adopting GenAI earn 2-4% higher annualized abnormal returns than nonadopters, while non-hedge funds do not benefit. The outperformance originates from funds’ AI talent and ChatGPT’s strength in analyzing firm-specific information. We conduct a new survey of fund managers’ GenAI usage to provide direct validation of our measure and offer additional new insights on how managers adopt GenAI tools in their practice. (JEL C81, G11, G14, G23)
