Tristan Greene5 hours agoSEC Chair Gary Gensler warns impending AI-wrought financial crisis ‘nearly unavoidable’Gensler reportedly fears Big Tech’s stranglehold on AI technologies homogenizing the financial market.4510 Total views5 Total sharesListen to article 0:00NewsJoin us on social networksUnited States Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler has reportedly stated that without some form of intervention, a financial crisis stemming from the widespread use of artificial intelligence is “nearly unavoidable.” 


The chair’s comments came during an interview with the Financial Times where, according to the article, Gensler said the crisis could come within a decade.


The chair’s concerns evidently revolve around the centralization of AI models and cloud service providers.


Per the interview:“I do think we will, in the future, have a financial crisis […] If everybody’s relying on a base model and the base model is sitting not at the broker dealer, but it’s sitting at one of the big tech companies. And how many cloud providers do we have in this country?”


Alongside cryptocurrency regulation, artificial intelligence has become one of the SEC’s greatest regulatory challenges. According to the Financial Times, Gensler is concerned about an overreliance on similar models (e.g., ChatGPT) leading to herd behavior on Wall Street and throughout U.S. financial markets.

Gensler’s stance is nothing new. In 2020, Gensler co-authored a research paper titled “Deep Learning and Financial Stability,” wherein he professed a similar point of view, together with Lily Bailey, then an MIT research assistant but now working at the SEC as an assistant to the chief of staff, according to her LinkedIn page.


Per the 2020 paper, the increasing use of artificial intelligence systems in the financial system “may lead to financial system fragility and economy-wide risks.”


The paper continues with an implicit call for government regulation, “existing financial sector regulatory regimes - built in an earlier era of data analytics technology - are likely to fall short in addressing the systemic risks posed by broad adoption of deep learning in finance.”# SEC# United States# AI# Regulation# Gary GenslerAdd reactionAdd reactionRead moreHow to send and receive payments on the Lightning NetworkAI a powerful tool for devs to change gaming, says former Google gaming headMeet the guerilla artist who staged a crypto ‘rug pull’ in front of the SEC
