Mike Selig, Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), stated at an artificial intelligence forum that the convergence of AI, crypto assets, and modern financial infrastructure could drive further automation of trading systems and expand the scope of financial instruments. The CFTC has begun using AI for market regulation, but autonomous trading agents also raise new regulatory issues, including whether agent developers need to register, liability in the event of agent misconduct, and how to identify the actual users behind the agents. He suggested that regulators may need to establish a "Know Your Agent" (KYA) mechanism similar to "Know Your Customer" (KYC). Selig indicated that the CFTC could learn from the regulatory experience of the crypto asset market to clarify relevant rules. Furthermore, the CFTC will hold a roundtable discussion on 24/7 trading on December 15th. (CoinDesk) https://(wublock123.com)/news/cftc-chair-ai-crypto-driven-autonomous-trading-kyc-liability-70885
