Verified. Author: Brian Daly, SEC Director of the Division of Investment Management. The quote is from his Feb 3, 2026 speech "Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Investment Management" delivered to the ICI Winter Board Meeting. SEC.gov URL returns 403 to WebFetch, but the quote is confirmed by multiple independent sources (WebSearch results and press coverage including Traders Magazine, mondaq, Proskauer, JDSupra). The original opinion combined two sentences from two different speeches (the second sentence about "transparency, auditability, and consistency with fiduciary duties" is actually from Daly's Jan 8, 2026 NYCBA proxy voting speech). I edited the opinion to contain only the first sentence, which is correctly sourced to the cited URL, and set year=2026. Relevance to statement 440 (regulated industries should prohibit AI autonomous decisions where fiduciary duty applies): Daly expresses enthusiasm for AI transformation in investment management, a heavily fiduciary-regulated industry. The abstain vote is appropriate because Daly's position is nuanced - he supports AI adoption but in his broader remarks emphasizes human oversight, transparency, and fiduciary consistency, neither clearly endorsing nor prohibiting AI autonomous decisions.
