"Nobody knows," the direction of travel for tariffs under the Trump administration, says Bain Capital Chair Jonathan Lavine, adding that "hopefully there's an analytical underpinning to what happens." The trick right now is to study the possibilities, but only react to the reality," he says. Lavine went on to say Bain Capital are "constantly looking for ways to integrate AI into our business model across the board," says Chair Jonathan Lavine. Nevertheless, investors should not "blindly rely" on AI without human overlay, he warns. On AI spending, Lavine argues, "there might have been an overreaction to Deepseek," but cautions about over-building in the short-term. Lavine speaks to Guy Johnson, Anna Edwards and Kriti Gupta on 'Bloomberg: The Opening Trade'. (Source: Bloomberg)
