SEC to Host Public Roundtable on Machine-Understandable Data and Super Intelligence

SEC Announces Upcoming Roundtable

The Securities and Exchange Commission said it will hold a roundtable on November 9 to discuss the use of machine‑understandable data and Super Intelligence, often referred to as SI, and the associated risks and costs.

Purpose and Expected Input

Joshua White, the SEC’s chief economist and director of the Division of Economic and Risk Analysis, explained that high‑quality information is critical in the age of SI. He said the roundtable is intended to facilitate insightful discussions about how the public uses machine‑understandable data and SI, as well as the related risks and costs.

White added that feedback from market participants will give SEC staff insight into how the market and investing public are employing machine‑understandable data for SI solutions, and will help the Commission consider ways to better facilitate SI.

Logistics and Access

The SEC said the roundtable will be open to the public and will take place at its headquarters on 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C., from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. EST. The agency noted that the number of in‑person participants may be limited and that visitors will be subject to security checks.

The discussion will be streamed live on SEC.gov, and a recording will be made available later, according to the SEC.

Who Should Pay Attention

The SEC indicated that the event is relevant to market participants, investors, technology firms, and anyone interested in the regulatory implications of machine‑understandable data and SI. By gathering input from these stakeholders, the agency aims to shape its understanding of emerging technologies that could affect market transparency and investor protection.
