Andrew Y: Blog Post 1
Andrew Y -
Hey, I’m Andrew! I’m a senior at BASIS Peoria. My favorite class throughout all of school has always been economics. For the two years that I took it, I looked forward to that class every single day. I learned something completely distinct from any other subject I was learning before. There were formulas, but it wasn’t like math. We learned about past events, but not like we did in history. I also love to research and learn about the stock market in my free time. All the complex intricacies and, admittedly, ways to make money intrigued me.
This is where the seed for my research project was planted. In my search for the most optimal method to predict the unpredictable stock market, I stumbled on the use of A.I. in finance. The use of artificial intelligence algorithms for predicting market movement has been prevalent among investment firms for a few years, but with the introduction of apps such as ChatGPT, these features have become accessible to the average retail investor. I was interested in how effective these A.I. trading bots actually are, in comparison to human investors. This is how I settled on my research question: how effective are A.I. driven prediction algorithms in predicting market movements in comparison to human investors?
With this project, I hope to find areas in which A.I. could improve when it predicts the market and I hope to conclude whether or not using the average retail investor using A.I. would actually be beneficial. I would also like my data to be replicable and for my analysis to be meaningful. All things the average AP Research student considers when starting this journey!
