Can AI Agents Make Financial Markets Less Stable?

ABOUT THE EPISODE AI could make financial decisions faster and more efficient. But when multiple AI agents learn, trade, and interact at once, they may also create new risks for competition and market stability.

Winston Dou, Faculty Director of the Wharton AI in Finance Lab, explains how AI is transforming fraud detection, credit assessment, trading, and investment research. He discusses why regulators and financial institutions need to evaluate AI systems not only on individual performance, but also on how they behave together in the market.
