Artificial Intelligence or Artificial Stupidity? That is the Question!
At the request of one of our loyal readers we've just opened up a new section on the Trading Gurus community forum devoted to Artificially Intelligent Trading. As other loyal readers will know, here at the Trading Gurus we love Ray the Random Robot and his particular brand of Artificially Stupid Trading. However we're also very open minded, not to mention modest! Apart from anything else we're keen to discover how other sorts of "robots" go about earning their keep. Some interesting debates have already started on the forum, where Pippa has recently revealed some very interesting news.
Starting on October 10th 2011 the Stanford University School of Engineering is running:
A bold experiment in distributed education, "Machine Learning" [and "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence"] will be offered free and online to students worldwide during the fall of 2011. Students will have access to lecture videos, lecture notes, receive regular feedback on progress, and receive answers to questions. When you successfully complete the class, you will also receive a statement of accomplishment.
Ray is certainly very interested in learning some new trading tricks, and he wondered if you might be as well. Here's a video to give you some idea about what's on the curriculum:

Most of the humans don't use their brain = they don't think. Even after finishing top universities they are still idiots. Maybe teaching machines using their artificial brain & thinking will be more easily than trying teaching humans to think. Maybe it will happen in the future?

Hi Betelgeuse,
Maybe some sort of artificially stupid "robot" will be able to trade more profitably than quantitative algorithms designed by teams of PhDs at some point in the future also?
Cheers,
Jim
