I fully support the implementation of Rule S7-12-23. This
rule would impose boundaries on large institutions and firms who have
enjoyed years of technological advantages over household investors.
Not only are the predictive AI, algorithm trades and predictive data
operations a huge advantage as they have the ability to predict stock
trends, but one could argue that AI trading could mean subtle
communications between firm algorithm trades which would create an
unfair cooperation between massive investors who would have the
capability to sway market trends on a whim. 

It is only fair that either a) the benefits be made accessible by all
parties, household investors included, or b) the practices be banned
to level the playing field. 

As this rule fits option b, I fully endorse the implementation of this
rule and encourage similar rules be added to protect small investors
like myself.
