Right? It isn't a big leap to think that hedge funds and brokerages are gonna invest in adding this tech to their trading tools
To me, A.I. is mostly a threat to mid-level management and white collar, client-facing careers. Pretty soon, AI tools will be able to take in data and generate reports, summaries, and recommendations better and faster than people reading dashboards. Those careers will probably go before the ones people are predicting (like creative professions). A lot of financial sector jobs are what I just described.
I don’t think people in those careers now should be panicking, though. Travel agents were supposedly made obsolete by online booking but experienced travel agents used their expertise in itineraries to basically become boutique trip planners. It just isn’t a career path you’d recommend to the next generation.
