SEC Chair Gary Gensler to speak on artificial intelligence, securities regulation at Headliners Luncheon, July 17

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler will address artificial intelligence and securities regulation at a National Press Club Headliners Luncheon at 12:30 p.m. Monday, July 17.

The commission has indicated on its regulatory agenda that it intends to propose rules in the next few months “related to investment adviser conflicts in the use of predictive data analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and similar technologies in connection with certain investor interactions.”

Gensler was nominated by President Biden and confirmed by the Senate in April 2021 to head the five-member SEC. He has embarked on a wide-ranging and aggressive regulatory agenda that has drawn intense praise and criticism. He has said his goal is to improve the efficiency and transparency of financial markets and reduce costs for investors.
