The Securities and Exchange Commission will host a roundtable on Nov. 9, 2026, about how the public uses machine-understandable data and what the agency calls Super Intelligence (SI), along with the related risks and costs.

"In the age of SI, high-quality information is critical," said Joshua White, the SEC's chief economist and director of its Division of Economic and Risk Analysis. He said feedback from market participants would show staff how investors use such data and how the Commission could better support it.

The event is open to the public at SEC headquarters, 100 F Street NE in Washington, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. EST. In-person space may be limited. It will stream live on SEC.gov, with a recording posted later.
