CFTC chairman raised questions yesterday about liability and registration requirements for AI trading agents. Key issues: Should developers register? Who's liable if an agent malfunctions? Chairman floated "know-your-agent" rules—essentially KYC for bots.
The questions come as autonomous trading agents move from concept to reality. If these tools become mainstream—and some believe everyone will eventually run their own agent—regulatory clarity becomes urgent.
No formal rules yet, but the signal is clear: regulators are watching how AI handles real money.
