AI outpaces Humans on decision-making at scale

Algorithmic trading is more profitable than human trading primarily because it can execute trades at superhuman speeds, capitalizing on minute price discrepancies that exist for fractions of a second. Additionally, HFT reduces human errors and biases, executing predefined strategies with high precision and consistency. In fact, it is so profitable that 60-75% of US trading volume is now done algorithmically.

Similarly, recommender systems can out do editors in serving users the stories they want.
