While this offers a novel way to automate investment decisions, Robinhood cautions that AI-driven trading carries significant risks, including the potential loss of the entire investment. The feature is in beta, initially supporting equities, with plans to expand to options and cryptocurrencies. This development underscores the increasing integration of AI in financial services, albeit with notable warnings about its risks.
