AI Playing the Stock Markets
Machine learning and AI algorithms are powerful tools in the world of the stock markets — but they haven’t beaten the stock markets yet
Another field to explore
Machine learning/AI has already made its way into science and art, but how about economics? More specifically, how about the stock markets?
Trading stocks is a mostly virtual endeavor. Numbers float by on a fleet of screens, turning green and red. Graphs go up on down, Arrows point this way and that…
The way those numbers change determines where the money flows. And a lot of money is flowing. (Topping at nearly $80 trillion in 2017, down to a little over $43 trillion now. Stuff’s been happening… Still no pittance, though.) Anticipate the change in money flow, react quickly, and you’ll be able to divert some of that pecuniary current into your own bank account.
Now image a tool that can handle a lot more data then you can, refining its anticipatory capacities. Imagine also that this tool is way, way faster than a human brain could ever be.
Oh wait, we already have systems like that.
