AI Revolutionizes Trading: Experts Warn of Skill Shortage

As the world becomes increasingly digital, the way we invest and trade is also undergoing a significant transformation.

A recent trend shows that AI-driven trading is becoming more prevalent in both stocks and crypto. The numbers are impressive – around 19% of people globally now use AI tools to build or adjust their portfolios, according to eToro. In the UK, nearly 39% of people use AI for future financial planning, as per Lloyds Group.

The data also reveals that AI quant funds are outperforming retail traders. Ningbo's High-Flyer reported an average return of 52.55% in 2025, making it one of the top performers in the industry.

The key to successful AI trading lies not in selecting the best model but in building a system with clear goals and constraints. Experts describe this process as managing a sports team – setting the goal, defining the rules, and letting the agents do the work.
