Actually, its a quantitative problem that people normally use operations research algorithms to resolve.
Can AI be trained to solve it? Sure, but it's a weird and perhaps un-needed use case when there are several better understood and more efficient algorithms that approach lower bounds.
I work in the AI space, love the challenges it presents and the use cases it enables. We have to be careful to not hype into AI -- applying it to places where it isn't necessary or could never work -- because it will absolutely continue to technically improve but may be overly scrutinized from a regulatory perspective.

- tomrod 3y agoPerhaps you misunderstand my term. Quant problems are broader the AI. A more appropriate term would have been constrained optimization problem. While this space has overlap with some AI methods, AI and OR have some daylight.
