Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos -
Banks, Banking, Insurance, Fund Management
Patrick Dixon is a global keynote speaker on Fund Management and AI, author of 18 booksAI WILL CUT banking costs, improve decision-making and reduce certain risks, in particular from fraud. But AI decisions will also dominate global markets, destroy some banks and risk global economic chaos.
A very important area of financial services is wealth management, and much of this relates to pensions, because for most people almost all the wealth they have, other than their homes if they are owners, is in pension savings (unless they work for government).
AI is taking control of stock markets globally
AI is rapidly taking control of all global stock markets. More than $110tn of company shares are listed in these exchanges, but over 90% of trading decisions are by computers, nanoseconds after a small or large event. Human beings are no longer involved. And increasingly such decisions are controlled by AI.
In the past, computer trades were automated, using human rules linked to market data, social media and news bulletins. The key to ‘algorithmic trading’ is ultra-speed. If there’s an earthquake in San Francisco, or an assassination in Brazil, computers dump huge volumes of shares a few billionths of a second later. That’s because their rules are set to ‘expect’ many others to ‘panic sell’.
The most successful trading companies make tens of millions of dollars a year by sending in their own automated orders just a few billionths of a second before anyone else. They have faster processors, shorter cables, and use other digital tricks such as their own microwave transmitters to avoid latency in public networks.
Because every large investment house has automated software, one big sell can easily trigger ‘panic selling’ or ‘panic buying’ by thousands of others, creating price crashes and spikes. But every one of these price movements is also another opportunity to make money. That is why most orders are so-called ‘high-frequency trades’ (HFTs) – where the same system dumps and buys back a few nanoseconds later, maybe thousands of times over a short period.
These systems have caused all kinds of crazy market swings – for example massive sell-offs triggered by fake news. A share price can collapse by 20% or more. If someone wants to influence an election, a story has to convince over weeks or months, but a ‘fake’ only needs to ‘survive’ for a single second or a minute to spook a market.
Even if the entire market thinks there is a 99% chance that a potentially large news story is complete nonsense, that fake will still earn money. The 1% perceived risk will be more than enough to trigger selling by most automated systems until the situation is clearer.
