Economics and machine learning (ML) researchers at Columbia and Georgia State universities found artificial intelligence is causing companies to change how they communicate.
Natural language processing is being used to parse and process text in the financial documents public companies must submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), while ML tools are used abstract text or rate the language used as positive, neutral, or negative.
