The regulator is hosting events open to the public to create a dialogue about the industry’s two top cutting-edge disruptors.
The SEC is hosting key industry roundtables this month – one will be a series of roundtables on the regulation of cryptocurrencies, and the other will be a one-day event on the governance of artificial intelligence (A.I.).
The SEC’s newly formed Crypto Task Force “will host a series of roundtables to discuss key areas of interest in the regulation of crypto assets,” officials say. The “Spring Sprint Toward Crypto Clarity” series will begin Monday, March 21, with its inaugural roundtable, “How We Got Here and How We Get Out – Defining Security Status.”
The first roundtable on March 21 is “open to the public and will be held from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the SEC’s headquarters at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.,” according to the announcement. The number of in-person participants “may be limited, and visitors will be subject to security checks. The primary discussion will be streamed live on SEC.gov, and a recording will be posted at a later date. Information regarding the agenda and roundtable speakers will be posted on the Crypto Task Force webpage in the coming days.”

About a week later, the SEC will hold a roundtable discussion on A.I. in the financial services industry on March 27 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the SEC’s headquarters. The event is open to the public for either in-person or virtual attendance.
“The A.I. roundtable will discuss the risks, benefits, and governance of AI in the financial industry. SEC Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda and SEC Commissioners Hester Peirce and Caroline Crenshaw are slated to deliver remarks. For online attendance, no registration is necessary. A link to watch the event will be available on March 27 on www.sec.gov,” according to the SEC. In-person attendees can register here: https://shorturl.at/ZjpIk
