Man v. Machine – Artificial Intelligence Trading Software VantagePoint

Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have had varying degrees of success when measured against humans. In problems such as chess, which succumb to sheer computational firepower, the machines have advanced greatly in a short time. Like chess, financial markets operate under the supposition of rational participants. Humans are supposed to be calculating the odds, maximizing return and minimizing risk. If this were indeed the case, artificial intelligence trading software would stand a good chance at bettering its human counterparts in making and capitalizing on market decisions.
