Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has wonderful prospects to foster innovations that allow for research and development to proceed faster, become more individualized and more flexible. There is tension, however, between innovation and governance, which prefers to slow down or regulate changes. How to manage these conflicting goals is an important economic problem. AI implementations need to incorporate or handle exceptions. Under uncertainty the risks in the tails are crucial in all investment programs and in any implementation of AI. The middle to the distribution of possible outcomes can be data mined; new concepts or valuable implementations come from the exceptions, the unusual. The innovation process uses signals and domain expertise to advance research and development. Finance and financial theory provide a great foundation to understand uncertainty, which is not constant. Time, in both investment and AI implementations play a crucial role.
