And here is a whole bunch of papers – http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/results.cfm?RequestTimeout=50000000

The finance market is likely (in my view) going to be the main driver behind any AI. The algorithms are competing, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes more sophisticated. I mean, it dosen’t take a genius to see the value in having an a AI which can instantaneously calculate yields and arbitrage opportunities between markets. The key to the financial markets is information. How quick you get it, how quick you react and how accurate you are.

Also, anyone notice the JP Morgan hacking? that’s going to be a major driver as well.

HFT. they place themselves as close to the data points physicaly so they can scalp. each fraction of a second becomes valuable.Plus, they all roam around trying to do things such as momentum ignition to fool other algorithms into jumping in, and then drop out (with profit). They also seem to be engaged in actions like quote stuffing to slow other hfts and institutions down (they have to process all the quote requests). I’m sure there are plenty of papers on this knocking around.
