SEC Focuses on AI and Tokenization Risks
The SEC's Division of Examinations has identified 'super intelligence and other advanced technologies' as a focus area alongside tokenization risks. The Division's examination playbook now includes AI under the category of 'emerging technologies,' indicating a shift in scope from AI as a business tool to a systemic market variable. Tokenization is also listed as a priority area under market infrastructure. The Division emphasizes that compliance programs for brokers, investment advisers, and transfer agents will now draw examiner attention, as they build out tokenized product lines under the Atkins-era regulatory thaw.
