Artificial intelligence is an exciting, new technology and it is well-regulated by old laws and rules already on the books, financial regulators said at Compliance Week’s AI & Compliance Summit earlier this month at Boston University.
The securities laws and rules have been in effect for almost 100 years, said Colin Forbes, an assistant director in the SEC Division of Enforcement’s Asset Management Unit.
Under these laws and rules, investment advisers shouldn’t “hype” their use of AI if their claims do not have a reasonable basis in fact, Forbes responded in answering a question posed by moderator Aaron Nicodemus, financial services staff writer at Compliance Week.
