1:53 pm
ai may be overblown but isn't the real benefit of what you do and what others in ai do is just that there's so much data out there that drives markets that for a human to do it is really a tough deal i mean even if they could by the time they analyzed all the things they have to analyze it be probably you'd be behind the curve on making a trade is that the just what we do about sixteen million calculations every night when we might have fifteen four on that is about one. and what are you looking at your look and you say all around the country all around the world. we're looking at fifty four countries as economies you know so we started with the g. eight and you know over the last few years we've expanded as more and more economies have offered their data online and accessible to our deep learning systems so you know we really are trying to be
1:54 pm
a robo economist at heart now when you when you talk about that it makes me think that there are times i know some folks who run h f t's and they still like to at some point have some human control are we at the point where really ai is it and the only thing or is there some need for humans in investing oh i think there's some need for humans i mean the needs to be kept in its place the need to be safety guidelines. you know it's been seen that the best chess systems in the world added with just a little bit of human intelligence outperform on average other systems just a little bit of human intelligence makes one prediction system much better than the others so you really the best is a waiting of robo plus human beings the that the folks i've spoken with like it
1:55 pm
a n.y.s.e. they say you know there's a time like particularly when things are crazy at the opening of the closed where they really want to look in a trader's eyes to see what's going on we showed that little clip at the beginning of the segment about the you know the boy the ai robot boy who actually loved is there a motion that can be actually built into artificial intelligence trading alexander . that emotion is the hardest thing to build and you know i say we're at the dawn of the dawn of artificial intelligence and when it comes to emotions our technology is still quite where i'll really quite unimpressive that's you know twenty thirty seventy years down the line. so you know we're looking at being unemotional for a positive angle in that when we see in greece instance in two thousand and nine an
1:56 pm
economy that's going down despite markets going up and everyone you know pouring money into it are our system will say greece is terrible and will sell everything in greece months before anyone is kind of accepted the data yeah you're a lot of credit alexander for calling that ahead of ahead of most people let me ask you about a couple of circumstances say for example you look at facebook in january of this year or amazon in january of this year and then you look at them now after facebook has all these public relations problems amazon's being tweeted to death by the president theoretically i mean how do you look at that how does that how does a i look at bad in trading. we do well you know a lot of our data comes from sentiment comes from pricing sentiment it comes from management sentiment so as the holders of facebook turnover are waiting a facebook will change our weighting of an entire country can change from positive
1:57 pm
negative in as little as ten days so you know we can be quite dynamic. so what do you see around the corner on ai what's the next big thing alexander. well let me add that in february when we had quite a bit of a sell off our technology sold a number of value stocks that have liked for stocks and had gotten so sold off they became more favorable so you know is that emotional no but you know it's it's definitely wise and it's definitely very opportunistic. and if there is no fundamental economic follow through on a sell off then the system will deem the sell off as a no irrational and irrational reaction you know alexander fleiss we appreciate you being with us really interesting stuff we hope you are c.e.o. of rebellion research going to thank you but i bet you already knew i was going to
