Training for High School Students on the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Optimizing Investment Portfolios to Reduce Risk in the Stock Market

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of the main technologies in various sectors, including the investment world. In an effort to improve financial literacy and understanding of high school students about the use of AI in optimizing investment portfolios, this community service activity was held. This training aims to provide a basic understanding of the stock market, investment risk, and how AI can be used to analyze data, predict stock price trends, and reduce investment risk. The methods used in this training include theory sessions, demonstrations of the use of AI tools, and investment portfolio simulations based on historical data. The results of this training show that students have increased their understanding of investment concepts and the role of AI in portfolio optimization. The simulations provided practical experience in using AI for stock analysis and risk management. Recommendations from this activity include the development of an AI learning module for investment, assistance in stock market simulations, and holding AI-based investment competitions to improve students' skills in making investment decisions. Thus, this training is expected to provide long-term benefits for high school students in facing the challenges of an increasingly technology-based financial world.
