Proposal for consideration | September 26, 2026
Artificial Intelligence in Adjudication and Recognition of Party-Chosen Specialized Forums
AI can help a judge or arbitrator organize the record. It should not decide the case. I propose clear limits on administrative and analytical uses, disclosure where needed, and independent human judgment. I also propose voluntary standards for specialist dispute centers that can handle technical AI evidence. Parties could choose a qualified center, but its certification would not give it power over strangers or remove court review and protected rights. The recognition route needs legislative and federal-law review. These are proposals, not current law.
Discussion draft | September 26, 2026
Temporary exemptive relief for tokenized securities venues
A tokenized stock trade can settle on a blockchain and still leave a legal dispute unresolved. My proposal is that venues using the SEC's temporary exemption should have a real process for handling complaints, preserving evidence and carrying out lawful remedies. Participants should know which law and forum apply, who controls the systems, and how a decision can be enforced. Private dispute resolution would not replace the SEC, courts or rights that cannot be waived. This is my discussion draft, not an SEC rule or an adopted requirement.
