    [synopsis] => The world of finance has been transformed by the emergence of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Advanced algorithms are now routinely applied across the industry for everything from high frequency trading to credit risk modeling. Yet despite its widespread impact, AI trading remains an often misunderstood field full of misconceptions. This book aims to serve as an accessible introduction and guide to the real-world practices, opportunities, and challenges associated with applying artificial intelligence to financial markets. Across different chapters, we explore major applications of AI in algorithmic trading, common technologies and techniques, practical implementation considerations, and case studies of successes and failures. Key topics covered include data analysis, feature engineering, major machine learning models, neural networks and deep learning, natural language processing, reinforcement learning, portfolio optimization, algorithmic trading strategies, backtesting methods, and risk management best practices when deploying AI trading systems. Each chapter provides sufficient technical detail for readers new to computer science and machine learning while emphasizing practical aspects relevant to practitioners. Code snippets and mathematical derivations illustrate key concepts. Significant attention is dedicated to real-world challenges, risks, regulatory constraints, and procedures required to operationalize AI in live trading. The goal is to provide readers with an accurate picture of current best practices that avoids overstating capabilities or ignoring pitfalls. Ethics and responsible AI development are highlighted given societal impacts. Ultimately this book aims to dispel myths, ground discussions in data-driven evidence, and present a balanced perspective on leveraging AI safely and effectively in trading. Whether an experienced practitioner looking to enhance trading strategies with machine learning or a curious student interested in exploring this intriguing field, readers across backgrounds will find an accessible synthesis of core topics and emerging developments in AI-powered finance. The book distills decades of research and industry lessons into a compact guide. Complimented by references for further reading, it serves as a valuable launchpad for readers seeking to gain a holistic understanding of this future-oriented domain at the nexus of computing and financial markets.
