The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) would like to learn more about how regulated entities might be using artificial intelligence (AI) in their compliance efforts, along with other applications.
The agency announced a request for comment Thursday to better inform staff on the current and potential uses and risks of AI in the derivatives markets. Responses received could influence future CFTC guidance, interpretations, policy statements, or regulations.
The deadline for comments is April 24.
