The team that built an AI to dominate poker is now picking stocks

“Three of the developers responsible for DeepStack, the first AI system to beat humans at heads-up, no-limit poker, have left their posts at DeepMind to form a new startup dedicated to dominating the stock market.
Martin Schmid, Rudolf Kadlec, and Matej Moravcik, the company’s founders, all worked together at IBM and DeepMind.
The founders’ history and connections give a solid bedrock to build out from. And, per this report from CNBC, there’s no shortage of VCs chomping at the bit to throw money at Equilibre Technologies.”
