CFTC Sets Agenda for First AI Frontier Forum on Trading and Agentic Finance

The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission has released the agenda for the opening event in a new series called the Frontier Forum, hosted by its Innovation Task Force. The session is set for October 28 and will focus on how artificial intelligence could affect derivatives markets. The agenda uses the term “super intelligence,” a descriptor favored by President Donald Trump. Chairman Mike Selig said super intelligence is poised to transform financial markets.

Topics: Price Discovery and Risk Management

The forum will start by looking at how derivatives markets may respond to a growing flow of machine intelligence. Speakers will discuss how the technology could change price discovery and risk management across the industry.

AI Agents and CFTC Regulation

The task force said it will hear from leaders in the space, including the heads of Ornn, Architect and Liquid Compute. The event will also explore how traders’ own AI agents may operate under existing CFTC regulations, a question that is becoming more urgent as agentic finance grows.
