SEC chair: AI will cause ‘unavoidable’ economic collapse

SEC Chairman Gary Gensler emphasizes the importance of regulating AI in order to prevent a financial crisis. He expresses concerns about the potential for overreliance on AI tools by financial institutions, which could lead to a situation similar to the 2008 economic crisis. While the SEC is not against the use of AI, Gensler believes that addressing the systemic risks of AI is crucial. The SEC has proposed a rule to prevent institutions from prioritizing their own interests over clients using AI.

SEC Chair: AI Will Cause ‘Unavoidable’ Economic Collapse

According to Gary Gensler, Chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), regulating AI is crucial to prevent a financial crisis. In an interview with the Financial Times, Gensler expressed concerns that if the current situation persists, a financial crisis caused by AI is almost certain.

The SEC is responsible for overseeing financial institutions such as banks and securities trading firms. When it fails in its role, the consequences can be severe, as seen during the 2008 economic crisis.

Gensler’s worries stem from the root cause of the 2008 crisis, where major players were selling sub-prime mortgages based on the belief that housing prices would continue to rise. When everyone makes the same mistake, a crash becomes inevitable. Gensler fears that relying too heavily on a few identical AI tools could lead to a similar situation.

Gensler acknowledges that the SEC is not against the use of AI. In fact, the SEC intends to utilize AI to detect fraud and money laundering. However, the proposed rule to prevent financial institutions from prioritizing their own interests over those of their clients does not fully address the potential for an AI-induced financial crisis.
