In a new article in Hedge Fund Law Report, litigation & enforcement partner Amy Jane Longo discusses the SEC’s recent crackdown on ‘AI washing’ – the false or exaggerated claims regarding the use of AI.

Amy talks about why she believes a recent enforcement action related to AI washing may be a sign of more serious charges to come in future cases. She also discusses how the SEC is using existing securities law doctrines to tackle investment firms’ alleged misrepresentations about AI technology and related machine learning models.

As Amy notes in the article, “as companies of all shapes and sizes across different kinds of industries begin to utilize AI tools – and to disclose them to investors or clients in SEC filings or elsewhere – the SEC is sure to ratchet up its scrutiny of such disclosures and the claims they contain.”
