Application of AI will change trading in many ways and this is already happening. Investors may find out soon that medium-term returns will be much below expectations after the current trend caused by QE expires. If this scenario materializes, then investors will have to return to the old way of finding a good financial adviser that can suggest a portfolio mix and pick securities that will appreciate in value. In some cases, the adviser will be an AI program and this process will be executed online.

Both are already impacting economies and trading as we know it.
If I'm not mistaken, already more than 2/3 of all the world's trading is done via bots.

AI is already being used all over trading activities, imagine the FOREX market alone which does not sleep or take a rest all over the globe and its gradually being introduced into crypto currency. Today we have series of bots that can be used on several exchange platforms to trade, bots are being used to reply mails, respond to questions and the likes irrespective on how we want to look at it, there is an element of Artificial Intelligence involved which in the future, will change the way things are done.

While the advantages of this cannot be overemphasized, we should not also not be unmindful of the human element and the empathy that would be involved. Ordinarily, as an individual, there will be some risks that I wont take but a bot just need a command to either buy or sell and irrespective of the current situation that might necessitate contrary decision, they will need to be commanded all over again.

Trading, yes, but picking a viable market to place your bots to? Still done by financial advisers AFAIK. Automated trading has been around for years now, that's why the cryptomarket never sleeps. Also, bots are really good in decision making as they can remember a certain event in their chips and make an algorithm about it so the next time it occurs on a market, they'll know how to tackle it smoothly. Bots also don't have any emotions so I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be any significant losses if you let a trading bot do the messy work for you. Sooner or later, the trading markets would be handled by bots and not humans anymore. Little by little every work done by humans are being replaced with automation, and handling money and profits aren't far from that, too.

It would be good to check the ICO of AiX.Trade - they have a specific platform that addresses the markets and trading totally from AI/Machine Learning perspective.
