What is Artificial Intelligence for Commerce?

 

First of all, let's try to understand what artificial intelligence is and how its applications are used in the financial sector.

Simply put, it generates machine codes to do tasks that we didn't program them to do directly. In traditional programming, we have a set of rules and algorithms given by humans to perform a particular task. But in AI a machine will first learn this task and then perform it automatically.AI helps the company save up to 70% on costs associated with repetitive tasks.

AI can handle risk management tasks more efficiently than humans.

 

Artificial intelligence trading systems can discover a huge amount of data very quickly.

Artificial intelligence-driven fraud detection tools can analyze customers' behaviour and identify purchasing habits that help detect unusual activity.

AI-powered chatbots reduce call centre workload and provide personalized financial advice so customers can track their personal expenses, income and shopping habits.

· AI can predict more accurately because it can analyze large amounts of historical data in less time.

 

The most common applications are bot advice, chatbots, customer referrals, algorithmic trading, and anti-money laundering. It takes about 380 milliseconds or 0.4 seconds in the blink of an eye on the Us Stocks 2,50,000 stocks are traded in that blink or just 0.4 seconds. Most stock trading is no longer even done by humans, as around 40% of banks already use artificial intelligence.

 

On August 18, 2011, Bloomberg news headlines issued the warning, "Hewlett-Packard says it is planning a spin-off in its PC business." Because trading firms use a machine learning tool called sentiment analysis, where trading companies scan press releases and websites to find specific keywords to determine overall sentiment. AI can complete and execute transactions faster than any human can. It takes 3-4 hours to read the scientific journal, 5-10 minutes to read the news article, 10-15 seconds for humans to read the tweet, while AI can consume everything in 1 second.

 

Some algorithms are basically designed to hunt down other algorithms, identify data points that other competing firms are looking for, and then feed them false data points, such as low-value high-volume transactions so that their algorithms react in a way that presents a bid. exchanged for less than the original price. The basic techniques of these algorithms are:

 

• Fraud - Placing orders on the market to give a false impression of the demand and then cancelling those orders in a billionth of a second.
• Bid Fill — Quickly placing large amounts of low value buy or sell bids that cannot be filled in the market but slow down other AI trading algorithms, your algorithm can ignore them and gain a significant speed advantage.

 

Ai Approach to Business

 

AI technology has been extremely profitable for trading firms, but what does it mean for the larger economy? At the end of the day, stock markets are basically markets where companies exchange stocks with the public to raise capital to build factories or develop technology or research facilities. AI trading algorithms are just extremely complex computer scripts, but that doesn't mean they can't fall into endless recursions.

 

Suppose an AI trading bot is programmed to short stock for bank PNB whenever there is a new sell order for bank PNB. This is called front running. Basically, the bot will short-circuit PNB shares and fill your orders in microseconds before a larger sell order. he comes to the market and pushes down the whole market price, then he buys his short position and takes a small profit from there. The problem comes when there are thousands of AI trading bots that see a sell order and re-expose stocks, and this has happened billions of times in a fraction of a second. This is a simple example of a recursion loop.

 

Is Ai Trading Ever Fair?

 

Sometimes, trading firms using AI algorithms do not care about the assets they are trading. A banana, orange can be anything and all they care about is the price they see on the screen because that price can change and changes lead to different deals.

For some investment firms, their entire business model revolves around one thing, namely "speed" and speed is a payoff game. The underlying asset can be stocks, futures currencies, commodities, anything. Understanding the economy, the fundamentals of the market is also not important, all that matters is beating the competitors and making some profit from it.

 

When I think of the word 'unfair', I think one side is given some sort of advantage by a broker, but this is not the case with AI trading systems. Your ability to profit in AI trading systems is directly dependent on your knowledge of the market and the amount of capital you can afford. Everyone is treated equally in the stock market.
