On 28 February 2025, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (US SEC) announced that it will host a roundtable discussion on Artificial Intelligence (AI). The event is scheduled for 27 March 2025 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. United States time at the US SEC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., and will be open to the public for both in-person and virtual attendance.
The roundtable will elaborate and discuss on the risks, benefits, and governance of AI in financial markets. US SEC Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda, along with Commissioners Hester Peirce and Caroline Crenshaw, are expected to deliver remarks on the evolving role of AI in regulatory frameworks and financial decision-making. The discussion will explore how AI is transforming trading, investment management, and compliance processes while also addressing regulatory challenges and ethical considerations.
The US SEC has emphasised the importance of broad industry participation in shaping AI governance policies. As AI technology increasingly influences financial markets, the Commission aims to gather insights from industry leaders, policymakers, and academics to inform potential regulatory developments. The roundtable is expected to facilitate dialogue on best practices for AI deployment, the mitigation of systemic risks, and the role of AI in investor protection.
The agenda, list of participants, and procedures for public comment submission will be published on the US SEC AI Roundtable’s event page in the coming weeks. The US SEC encourages advance registration for those attending in person.
