TOKYO -- Japan's Kabu.com Securities will launch an artificial intelligence service in May that helps retail investors choose stocks to buy and sell.
The online brokerage will jointly develop the system with U.S.-based AI technology startup Alpaca. The system will scan all of Japan's 3,700 or so listed companies to identify stocks with similar trends. The Tokyo-based company hopes to support the trading of its retail investor clients by offering technology that can unearth correlations unnoticeable to most human investors.
