100-word summary
Israel's FINQ just launched the first SEC-approved ETFs managed entirely by AI, not humans. The two funds—AIUP and AINT—use FINQ's proprietary AI to rank all 500 S&P stocks daily, automatically picking holdings and rebalancing portfolios based on market, financial, and text data. Humans? Only there for oversight. It's a Wall Street first, though analysts have previously warned about AI-driven trading turnover. This could reshape active investing if the bots outperform human fund managers—or spark regulatory scrutiny if they don't.
