Artificial intelligence excels in processing and executing data. Machines lack intuitive understanding, creative problem-solving, and critical judgment, the very qualities that human experts provide. A situation illustrating this concomitant quality was the Walmart-Litecoin episode in 2021. When a fraudulent press release went viral for a short period, announcing a Litecoin-Walmart partnership and momentarily succeeded in disrupting the markets. AI systems initially failed to recognise the deception. The fraud was discovered with human intervention through scepticism and investigations, ringing an alarm for human involvement in complex market events.
The future of the industry rests on successful synergy between human expertise and AI. A synthesis of computational intelligence and contextual judgment develops a resilient, reliable market environment that would otherwise have eluded either working independently.
