The head of ARK Investment Management reiterated her view that she expects an era of falling prices, backed by new technologies including artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, robotics, genomic sequencing and blockchain – an opinion she has held since 2021 even as markets have focused on a new era of heightened inflation risks.
