The CFTC, the U.S. derivatives regulator, is launching the Frontier Forum series of public roundtables on emerging technologies and financial markets. The first session, scheduled for Oct. 28, will examine artificial intelligence and agentic finance and their effects on financial markets. Chairman Selig said the agency must engage directly with the people building, using and studying these technologies. The CFTC plans to continue the series after the inaugural roundtable.
