Another AI startup wants to replace hedge funds





Dear, Wall Street: Silicon Valley is increasingly coming for you.

A machine intelligence system, dubbed Emma AI, is starting a fund that hopes to outsmart the humans and computers that make a living trading stocks. It’s part of a wave of tech startups aiming advanced machine learning at financial markets.

Automation is not new to Wall Street. But Shaunak Khire, Emma’s creator, claims his system differs from current finance computing — high-frequency trading and “quant” data science — because its system of neural nets takes into account a more complex set of factors affecting stocks, like management changes or monetary policy in Europe, that other programs miss.

“This is not algorithmic trading,” he said. “This is literally replication of an analyst.”

Emma will start trading stocks from pharma giant GSK and Tesla along with U.S. Treasury bonds. Previously, Emma went head-to-head with financial news writers, testing its ability to replace the profession of yours truly.

It picked a handful of stocks six months ago and Khire said they’ve yielded more than 30-percent growth since. He’s keeping the name of his company under wraps while he awaits certain patents involving bots and AI, he said.
