Verified summary

The SEC has adopted no dedicated AI disclosure rule; expectations operate through existing principles-based requirements — accuracy and reasonable basis for AI claims, and material-risk disclosure under Regulation S-K (operations, cybersecurity, data, IP, workforce). The Commission has brought "AI-washing" enforcement (e.g., the 2025 settled charges against Presto Automation over misstated AI-product capabilities), and AI remains a stated examination priority for 2026. Public companies are expected to be able to substantiate AI claims and describe board-level AI oversight, vendor risk, and model-validation practices where material. No dedicated AI rulemaking is pending as of early 2026.
