FIA urges CFTC to regulate use cases rather than AI itself

“We urge the CFTC to refrain from crafting new regulations that generally regulate AI because this approach presents certain well-known pitfalls.

We anticipate that any attempt to properly define AI would be very challenging and require considerable resources.”
