Oaktree Capital co-founder Howard Marks warned investors are underestimating AI’s disruptive potential during a March 2026 interview at the New York Capital Markets Industry Conference. Marks argued traditional investment strategies—relying on predictive forecasts—are inadequate in an AI-driven world, calling current market approaches outdated for assessing AI’s unpredictable economic impact. He emphasized AI’s role in accelerating volatility, suggesting its rapid evolution makes conventional risk models obsolete for long-term financial planning and asset allocation. The veteran investor’s comments highlight a growing divide between AI’s transformative pace and institutional investors’ slower adaptation to its systemic risks and opportunities. Marks’ stance reflects broader concerns that AI’s non-linear progression could reshape industries faster than markets can price in its full economic and operational consequences.
