In today’s ever-changing, high-tech world, as technology evolves, so does the finance industry. Now artificial intelligence (AI) continues to grow, and it is beginning to make its way into the world of finance.
While AI has not yet become ubiquitous, it is time to recognize that it has entered the finance industry. As with other industries, AI is redefining the way the world of finance works.
1. Trading
Investors have been working with computers to recognize market trends. Trading involves prediction, and math algorithms help traders better predict market trends. AI can learn about the past and present to make educated decisions about the future. AI can learn about the oddities that occur, and the tech can learn to recognize when anomalies might happen again.
AI can also help investors recognize when it is best to buy, sell, or hold, based on their risk preferences. With the involvement of AI, more people can invest in the stock market as the technology helps them better maneuver the complicated world of Wall Street.

2. Managing
Artificial intelligence is helping people manage their finances through technology called personal finance management. This technology lets consumers see where they are spending their money and where they can save more of it. The technology learns from customer financial behavior, and offers suggestions to have more money at the end of the month.
3. Assessing
The beauty of AI is its ability to learn. It takes a massive amount of information and looks at it analytically. Then, the technology can be programmed to make decisions. Its ability to make decisions changes as more data is added. So, financial institutions, especially those that work with credit, can use artificial intelligence to assess credit eligibility.
AI can use more than the credit score, which is the current method of determining risk for new customers. AI only looks at data, so it can help financial institutions make bias-free decisions about who gets loans.
4. Advising
Financial advisers are expensive. They require their customers to pay them a commission, which takes money away from the people advisors help. Instead of paying human financial advisers, who rely on computer models to help their customers, companies are looking to AI. At this point, wealth management companies have not stopped using human financial advisers.
Some have decided to use a collaborative model first, where the humans work with the machines to offer the wisest moves to their clients. In the financial world, AI can also be used in negotiations, so financial advisors and businesses can work together to help themselves and their investors.
5. Predicting
An important part of the finance industry is prediction. AI robots can gather information about credit card fraud, wealth management, blockchain, and more to create predictive models. These models are then used to make predictions about customers, clients, and borrowers.
The predictions give financial institutions and businesses the information they need to accurately assess whether borrowers will pay, blockchain will function, and wealth will grow. Prediction is especially useful for lenders who need to manage risk.
