The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has added AI superintelligence and tokenisation to its examination priorities for fiscal 2027, expanding its review of technology risks in capital markets. The SEC’s Division of Examinations said it will assess how AI tools used by registered firms affect compliance programmes and fraud detection. It also listed risks tied to evolving market infrastructure, including tokenisation and related developments. The priorities apply to more than 34,000 registered entities.

Ripple honorary chief technology officer David Schwartz opposes blanket AI content filtering aimed at blocking cryptocurrency scams. He says automatically screening out scam posts can threaten free speech and weaken the community\'s ability to spot and share new threats. Schwartz argues platforms should both block scams and preserve risk-information sharing. He also criticises AI-led automatic deletion based on suspected deception and urges caution on expanding platform liability for criminal acts.
