Speaking of stock markets, is AI going to eat the lunch of the average retail investor? AI or Artificial Intelligence is one of the hottest topics of discussion these days.

You see, the computers that we have used up till now weren't capable of thinking on their own. Their outputs were entirely based on a set of instructions or the code as they are called in the technical language.

To put it crudely, no matter how fast or how efficient the computer, it is still a calculating machine at its core. However, AI is a different beast altogether.

It is an intelligence that has been inspired by the natural or the human form of intelligence. In other words, it tries to mimic the human brain. In that case, will it pose a threat to the average retail investor? Will AI impact long term return for the small investor?

Rahul Shah, co-head of research at Equitymaster, answers all these question in the below video.

India's first stock to cross Rs 100,000

MRF share price crossed the much-awaited Rs 1 lakh mark on 13 June, as the stock opened over one percent higher.

The stock had earlier hit the Rs 1 lakh mark in May but in the futures segment.
