AI trading agents' similar representations can destabilize financial markets

This paper introduces a structural model to analyze how AI trading agents' similar information processing can destabilize financial markets. The research distinguishes between agents having similar internal representations of market states and producing similar predictions, showing that the former can lead to synchronized beliefs and actions. The findings suggest that increased representation homogeneity among AI agents can amplify volatility, liquidity stress, and tail risk, potentially leading to market collapses. AI

IMPACT Highlights potential systemic risks in financial markets due to AI homogeneity, suggesting a need for macroprudential policies focused on AI information processing diversity.

    Representation Homogeneity and Systemic Instability in AI-Dominated Financial Markets: A Structural Approach

    arXiv:2604.22818v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper investigates how similarity in the informational representation of market states among Artificial Intelligence (AI) trading agents can generate systemic instability in financial markets. We construct a structural multi-…
