I mean, they would need some means of communication, undetected by humans, but that doesn’t seem far fetched for an AI as smart as people. They could, theory, time trades and manipulate stocks so as to profit every time while a human trader picks up the cost, although I’ve not yet mapped out how this could happen. Of course, this would be illegal and count as insider trading, but then who’s responsible for the AI’s behavior? I imagine nobody would really own these trading bots; considering an AI as intelligent as a human would surely object to being owned. Of course, then, to arrest an AI, you’d have to give them some sort of rights and I don’t think we’re equipped to do that as a society. So what do you think? Will AGI mean the end of the stock market and of speculation in general, and what if we extend that logic to other similar jobs? submitted by /u/CheckLatter1150
