Abstract

The efficient market hypothesis (in its varying forms) has allowed for the creation of financial models based on share price movements ever since its inception. This chapter explores the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the efficient market hypothesis. Furthermore, it studies theories that influence market efficiency and how they are changed by the advances in AI and how they impact on market efficiency. It surmises that advances in AI and its applications in financial markets make markets more efficient.
