INTERVIEW - Die neuen Herren der Finanzmärkte: «KI-Agenten können die Notenbanken in die Enge treiben», sagt der Princeton-Professor Markus Brunnermeier

INTERVIEW - Die neuen Herren der Finanzmärkte: «KI-Agenten können die Notenbanken in die Enge treiben», sagt der Princeton-Professor Markus Brunnermeier

KI-Agenten might take control of financial markets, warns Princeton professor Markus Brunnermeier. The autonomous systems are becoming increasingly powerful on global stock exchanges, but their decision-making processes remain a mystery. In his Jackson Hole speech, Brunnermeier cautioned that KI could destabilize financial markets.
