SEC’s AI Disclosure Scrutiny Meets Growing Unease Over Infrastructure Financing
What's happening
The SEC is increasing scrutiny of AI company disclosures while raising concerns about infrastructure spending and circular financing, and the agency is emphasizing accounting enforcement so investors understand material risks, according to SEC Director of Enforcement D.
