Python, hands down. By far the best tools, community, documentation etc. Although if you are looking for something 'high frequency' you will need to implement the stuff on the critical fast path in something faster.

PS. What you want to do is called Machine Learning, not AI

It is AI. ML is a subfield of AI, so in the bigger scale it's AI.

AI is a completely over-hyped word.

The guy is trying to digest some pre-defined input (world events / financial news), and predict some output (trading decisions).

That's pretty far from AI in my book.

I agree with your point, but ML is even more over-hyped word IMO.
