Capturing the Intelligence of the Crowd: How to Create Your Own Super AI

There's a new way to make stock market predictions. One company, Numerai, is synthesizing machine intelligence to command the capital of an American hedge fund. The team outlines the focus of their work, asserting that they take the most accurate and original machine learning models from the world's best data scientists and synthesize them into "a collective artificial intelligence." This AI controls the capital in Numerai's hedge fund. Numerai was founded by mathematician Richard Craib, and it uses a weekly machine learning tournament that brings together data scientists to develop models using AI in order to predict stock market movements, with the best predictions winning money from the company--the best from their data science community are rewarded with Bitcoin.
