U.S. CFTC Releases Agenda for AI Forum, Focusing on Trading and Agent-Based Finance

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Innovation Task Force will host its inaugural “Frontier Forum” on October 28 and has officially released the event agenda. The forum will focus on the impact of artificial intelligence on U.S. derivatives markets, specifically examining how the rapid adoption of machine intelligence is reshaping market operations, price discovery, and risk management practices. In a related statement, CFTC Chairman Mike Selig stated that “super intelligence” will profoundly transform financial markets—a phrase echoing President Trump’s frequent use of the term “super intelligence.” Executives from AI-focused firms including Ornn and Archit are among the invited speakers set to share insights at the event.
