[The European Securities and Markets Authority to Launch AI and Tokenization Oversight in 2027] The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has announced that it will launch the EU strategic oversight priorities for artificial intelligence (AI) and tokenization in 2027. National regulators will review the current state of tokenization applications, document how companies are using AI and tokenization in investor-related products and processes, and conduct preliminary checks on the companies most affected. This priority will be advanced in parallel with the EU strategic oversight priorities on cyber and operational resilience, which will commence in 2025.
