At the AI+ Expo, @SECGov Chairman @SECPaulSAtkins addressed the common fear that artificial intelligence represents an "unprecedented rupture" in history. His perspective, grounded in the history of U.S. financial markets, offers a much more measured approach. As Chairman Atkins pointed out, AI is part of a long line of "mind-aiding instruments" that have transformed the global economy, from the telegraph to the electronic order book. While the pace of this innovation is undeniably new, the process of integrating it into our capital markets is a familiar challenge. Instead of demanding wholly new systems of safeguards, he argues that the path to continued American leadership relies on understanding the technology and making "careful adjustment and recalibration" to maintain investor trust. #sec# #AIExpoDC#
