The Challenge

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) faces the monumental task of managing and analyzing vast amounts of data to effectively regulate securities markets and protect investors. As the volume and complexity of information continues to grow, traditional search methods and manual processes struggle to keep pace, hindering productivity and decision-making while negatively impacting the budget. This is where diSearch comes in – an AI-driven Enterprise Search and Productivity Platform designed to reshape the way organizations like the SEC access, analyze, and use their data.

The Return on Investment (ROI) for the SEC and the financial regulatory industry from implementing diSearch is multifaceted. Financially, the automation of manual tasks and the reduction in time spent searching for information will lead to significant cost savings and increased efficiency. However, the true value lies in the enhanced regulatory oversight and market supervision capabilities. With diSearch, the SEC can conduct more effective risk-based exams, detect potential misconduct, and streamline regulatory processes. This improved oversight will foster greater investor confidence, promote market stability, and protect consumers from financial harm. Moreover, the ability to quickly access and analyze vast amounts of data will enable the SEC to make more informed, data-driven decisions when developing rules, policies, and guidance.

In an interview with Federal News Network about AI, SEC’s Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer Dr. Tanu Luke said the SEC sees three main buckets. First comes operations and document processing, and their associated repetitive tasks. Second is compliance with executive orders, in particular the application of zero trust principles to SEC networks. Third are various specific mission areas within the agency, such as examinations, enforcement, credit risk management and liquid cash management.
