Space Japan Book Review (in English)
Scott Patterson:"Dark Pools: The Rise of A.I. Trading Machines and the Looming Threat to Wall Street", Random House Business Books, 2013.
Dr. Takashi Iida, Editorial Advisor of Space Japan Review
"The book of the ultra-fast trading of stock was introduced in this previous column that it is the most distant presence in satellite communications. After that, there is a book review that stock trading has a greater impact than the high-speed communication lines due to activity of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in this field. Although I would like to treat the book, I am interested in the problem of AI itself and took out and introduced the most appropriate book. Now, it is the time to introduce this book that treats the stock trading using AI."
