PANews reported on September 23, citing Cointelegraph, that the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) will make AI and tokenization its top priorities for digital innovation regulatory work in 2027. Regulators across EU member states will review the use of these technologies in investor-facing products and processes, conduct inspections of certain more significantly affected financial institutions, and establish a standardized supervisory approach. ESMA noted that risks such as biased or misleading AI outputs, investors’ difficulty understanding related products, and excessive reliance on a small number of third-party technology providers will be key areas of focus.
