And this is true in financial markets as much as in sectors like&nbsp;health care,&nbsp;manufacturing,&nbsp;and almost every other aspect of our lives. I\u2019ve been researching financial markets&nbsp;and algorithmic trading for 14 years. While AI offers many benefits, the&nbsp;growing use of these technologies&nbsp;in financial markets also points to potential perils. A look at Wall Street\u2019s past efforts to speed up trading by embracing computers and AI offers important lessons on the implications of using them for decision-making. Program trading fuels Black Monday In the early 1980s,&nbsp;fueled by advancements in technology&nbsp;and financial innovations such as derivatives, institutional investors began using computer programs to execute trades based on predefined rules and algorithms. This helped them complete large trades quickly and efficiently. Back then, these algorithms were relatively simple and were primarily used for&nbsp;so-called index arbitrage, which involves trying to profit from discrepancies between the price of a stock index \u2013 like the S&amp;P 500 \u2013 and that of the stocks it\u2019s composed of. As technology advanced and more data became available, this kind of program trading became increasingly sophisticated, with algorithms able to analyze complex market data and execute trades based on a wide range of factors. These program traders continued to grow in number on the largely unregulated trading freeways \u2013 on which over a&nbsp;trillion dollars worth of assets&nbsp;change hands every day \u2013 causing&nbsp;market volatility to increase dramatically.
