AI enforcement targeted claims, not analysis

2024–2026 AI enforcement in trading and advice concentrated on unsubstantiated AI claims — AI-washing — not on AI analysis itself; the first-order compliance program for a legitimate vendor is claims substantiation.

ORIN Labs WP-05 · F-08 · as of August 2026
Basis

In re Delphia (USA) Inc. and In re Global Predictions, Inc. (SEC, Mar. 18, 2024); SEC Cyber and Emerging Technologies Unit (Feb. 2025); CFTC AI advisories (Jan. and Dec. 2024); FTC Operation AI Comply (Sept. 25, 2024).

Method

Doctrinal analysis of primary sources — statutes, regulations, adopted rules, case law and official guidance — supplemented by the enforcement record and by regulator publications through August 2026. Each 2024–2026 development was verified against the issuing body’s own publication or contemporaneous professional reporting. Argued in §2 of the paper.

Argued in

§4.4, §6.3 of AI Decision Support and the Advice Line (WP-05).

As of

August 2026. The regulatory record moves; this finding is dated rather than presented as timeless, and it is revised or withdrawn — never silently amended — when the record changes. Corrections: labs@tryorin.xyz.
