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.
