Commodity Futures Trading Commission Commissioner Kristin Johnson convened the third annual international financial markets regulation roundtable in London, bringing together regulators and other stakeholders to discuss supervisory and policy challenges from emergent technologies, including artificial intelligence, escalating cyber threats and the rapid adoption of digital assets. Johnson argued that increasing use of AI in financial services must be supported by robust governance, ethical design, responsible data practices and global regulatory coordination, and said supervisory approaches need to evolve in line with market developments. The agenda also focused on operational resilience, with cyber resilience described as a market integrity “gateway issue” requiring cross-border collaboration and attention to weakest-link vulnerabilities, alongside risk management and oversight of third-party service providers used by major market participants. Participants included the Bank of England, the Financial Conduct Authority, the European Securities and Markets Authority, Banco de España, Deutsche Bundesbank, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the Financial Action Task Force, among others.
