Gensler Says AI Risks Heartbreak Like Scarlett Johansson's 'Her'

Gary Gensler, chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, cautions against the overuse of similar AI systems by brokers and money managers. He warns that this could lead to significant market turmoil, drawing a parallel to the heartbreak experienced by characters in the film 'Her.'

Additionally, Gensler highlights new rules that will allow for more precise trading increments, which could lower trading costs and enhance market competition.
