Four divisions of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission issued a staff advisory on 5 December 2024 on the use of AI by regulated entities. It reminds exchanges, clearing houses, intermediaries and other registrants that their obligations under the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC rules apply as they adopt AI, and says staff will monitor AI use in routine oversight. It drew on comments to a January 2024 request for comment.

Why it matters

Futures exchanges, clearing houses and brokers were told that AI tools fall under their existing compliance, risk and supervision duties, and that examiners would ask about them.
