The Role Of Machine Readability In An AI World, Scott W. Bauguess, Deputy Chief Economist And Deputy Director, SEC Division Of Economic And Risk Analysis, Boston, Massachusetts, May 3, 2018 - SEC Keynote Address: Financial Information Management (FIMA) Conference 2018

Date 03/05/2018

Thank you, Dan [Knight] for the kind introduction.

It is a pleasure to speak today at the 2018 Financial Information Management Conference. For over a decade this forum has been used to advance the usefulness – and use – of data in the financial services industry. And each year the challenges and opportunities of doing so grow. Technological advances are responsible for many recent changes in market methods and practices. Chief among them is the rise of machines in the automation of rote tasks. And also of many complicated tasks. Because human direction is not explicitly required, the analytical methods underlying the technology have given rise to the concept of machine learning. This has also fueled the notion that artificial intelligence has finally arrived.

Keynote Of CFTC Commissioner Rostin Behnam At The FIA 40th Annual Law & Compliance Division Conference On The Regulation Of Futures, Derivatives And OTC Products, Washington, DC, Our Charming Ways, May 3, 2018

Date 03/05/2018

Introduction

Good morning.  It’s great to be with you today.  Before I begin, I want to extend my thanks to Walt Lukken and the entire FIA team for inviting me to share my thoughts.  Also, let me say that the views I express are my own and do not represent the views of the Commission.  As many of you know I worked on Capitol Hill between 2011 and 2017.  As far as I can remember, FIA usually held its annual Law & Compliance (L&C) meeting in Baltimore.  Despite the relatively short distance between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, I sadly never attended the conference.  My job rarely afforded an opportunity to stray far from the congressional campus — even for a few hours, particularly when the Senate was in session.
