Chairman Rostin Behnam explained that the purpose of the RFC is to help the CFTC “understand current and potential AI use cases and the associated potential risks to [its] jurisdictional markets and the larger financial system.” The RFC includes 20 questions that are specific to the use of AI in CFTC-regulated markets and are divided into two parts: the first concerns current and potential uses of AI in CFTC-regulated markets; the second concerns the potential risks that AI could pose to CFTC-regulated markets. Public comments are due by April 24, 2024.
