On May 15, 2026, Lynn Martin, President of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), serving as the U.S. business representative in Shanghai, urged international coordination on artificial intelligence (AI) governance. Speaking at a business forum, Martin emphasized the need for collaborative frameworks to manage AI's rapid development, citing its impact on global financial markets.
Martin highlighted that AI technologies are transforming trading systems and regulatory compliance, requiring unified standards to ensure stability and innovation. She noted that the NYSE is actively integrating AI for market surveillance and efficiency, but stressed that cross-border cooperation is essential to address risks like algorithmic bias and cybersecurity.
Her remarks come amid ongoing U.S.-China trade discussions, where technology policy remains a key focus. Martin's role as a business representative underscores the private sector's push for multilateral AI guidelines, separate from geopolitical tensions.
The forum, attended by executives from major financial firms, concluded with a call for a global AI summit to establish ethical and operational norms. No specific timeline was announced.
