Join us as Dr. Cao Huining (Henry) explores the impact of artificial intelligence on financial markets.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing driverless car technology, speech recognition, image processing, automatic translation, big data analysis and many other sectors in marketing and finance.
One striking example is Google’s AlphaGo, a recent algorithm based on AI that has defeated the best human players in Go and Texas Poker, previously thought the last strongholds of human intelligence. Much of the progress comes from the connectionism approach, which models behavior as the emergent processes of interconnected networks of simple units. A major representation of the connectionist approach uses artificial neural networks to simulate human perception, cognition and decision making.
The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is changing the financial markets. It is not surprising as financial transactions are inherently data intensive. Market-making high frequency trading firms facilitate market liquidity for buyers and sellers. Every trading day, numerous trading teams compete to provide the most efficient results using AI-centric techniques, including advanced pattern recognition.
Artificial intelligence will have profound effects not only in business and finance but also in arts, science, labor and distribution of wealth in society.
Individual event is at a $30 fee; free for 2017 Knowledge Series Members. Event is free to credentialed media.
Space is limited. Please reserve your spot here.
