Famous last words for a lot of businesses:

>When it comes to AI/Machine Learning: the nature of ____ and markets are drastically different to other fields that AI/ML have previously excelled in. The main reason being what are the laws and rules that govern how an AI/ML should view a field?

>Since the very nature of a market is… a constant change respecting an infinite and broad amount of variables (____), a complex system (repeating exact past actions, will not give you the same results) and a social interaction/conflict regarding an ambiguous ____, it becomes incredibly difficult to determine those laws and rules.

>In physics, mathematics, computer programming, you will always have a safe level of predictability when it comes to certain functions and how they interact to give you a reliable solution. With ____, instead of this safe level, there is just irrationality beliefs; something you cannot model with accurate certainty (just look at how AI/ML would handle predictions for Brexit and Trump, and then, how it would cope with the aftermath).



Markets predictions were at 20% of Brexit and Trump the day before the vote. And moving from 15 to 50% during the week before that. Noting they followed similar patterns.

They assessed the risk fine.


Yup, agreed. Iirc, AI on twitter predicted trump (my own model trained from 2007 and onwards) data. Also, I know for a fact renaissance has been using ml for a while.
