MetLife's Kelly: 'Narrow booms' lead to bumpy rides, but 'Buckle up!'

Michael Kelly, portfolio manager and global head of multi-asset at MetLife Investment Management, says the artificial-intelligence evolution has broad implications but has to this point been narrow in terms of how many companies it has impacted.
