The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into business models and investment strategies has accelerated in recent years. This acceleration has generated practical and legal issues as well as an increased interest from the federal government. As AI is transforming various aspects of business operations from customer service automation to advanced risk management models, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) has been closely following these developments and emphasizing the need for clear, accurate and comprehensive AI-related disclosures.
