Using President Donald Trump's favored "super intelligence" descriptor, the agenda released on Tuesday marks the opening outing of what the regulator is calling its "Frontier Forum" series. It begins with a look at how derivatives markets may respond to the influx of machine intelligence and how the technology may impact price discovery and risk management.
"Super intelligence is poised to transform our financial markets,” said CFTC Chairman Mike Selig in a statement.
The task force said the event will hear from leaders in the space, including the heads of firms such as Ornn, Architect and Liquid Compute.
The event will also explore how traders' own AI agents may operate under CFTC regulations.
