Washington, D.C. — Commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero, sponsor of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Technology Advisory Committee (TAC), today announced a detailed agenda for the TAC’s live-streamed January 8, 2024 public meeting at the CFTC’s headquarters. 

“Debate around issues of emerging technology for financial markets is enhanced by the Commission’s engagement with the broad and diverse group of technology experts who serve on the TAC, and I am grateful for their service,” said CFTC Commissioner Goldsmith Romero. “Technology issues are critically important. Artificial intelligence can be transformative, but only if implemented responsibly, in a way that protects customers and markets from harm. Cybersecurity risks continue to be an area that keeps people up at night, and requires constant vigilance. I am also very grateful for the Subcommittee’s work to study decentralized finance, an area where greater understanding will better inform policy decisions.”   

The full agenda for the TAC’s January 8 meeting is as follows:

Technology Advisory Committee
