Financial trading as a game

Financial trading as a game

Author: Ather Gattami February 15, 2024 Duration: 36:04

In this episode of the AI Podcast, host Ather Gattami interviews Michal Sustr, co-founder of EquiLibre, a company that uses game theory and reinforcement learning for trading.

Michal discusses the company's approach to trading, which is based on the idea that markets can be modelled as games. He explains that EquiLibre uses game theory to develop algorithms which can predict the behaviour of other traders and make profitable trades.

Ather and Michal also discuss the future of AI, and Sustr predicts that large language models (LLMs) will continue to be a major area of research in the coming years. Michal believes that LLMs will eventually be able to reason and solve problems in a way that is indistinguishable from human intelligence.
