Will artificial intelligence someday solve our legislation and regulatory roadblocks? “ChatGPT, can you please make the perfect legislation? -or create the perfect regulatory approach in the United States?”
blockchain tipsheet decided to take artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT for a spin and asked four questions today:
What are 100 use cases for blockchain technology?
What regulation is needed for digital assets in the United States that can be passed quickly?
Who is the most effective, current commissioner of the CFTC or SEC?
The answers may not have been perfect – there is a repetition on “insurance” and “loyalty”-related use cases, for example – but ChatGPT is thought-provoking at a minimum, articulate, unwilling to share opinion and sometimes wrong.
The second question about legislation and “passed quickly” attempts to press ChatGPT to apply some critical thinking around the complexity of getting legislation passed by both houses of Congress, let alone the President’s signature. ChatGPT seems to be unaware of the very latest legislation – such as coming stablecoin legislation from Rep. Patrick McHenry (R, NC) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D, CA) – by mentioning a rarely-discussed bill from 2021… or is it trying to tell us something?

blockchain tipsheet: What regulation is needed for digital assets in the United States that can be passed quickly?
ChatGPT: As an AI language model, I cannot provide a definitive answer or legal advice on this matter. However, I can provide some general information and suggestions.
The regulatory framework for digital assets in the United States is complex and rapidly evolving. At present, digital assets such as cryptocurrencies, digital tokens, and other blockchain-based assets are subject to a patchwork of state and federal regulations. The lack of uniformity and clarity in the regulatory landscape has created uncertainty and hindered the growth of the industry.
To address this issue, some policymakers have proposed legislation that would provide a clear and comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets. For example, the Digital Asset Market Structure and Investor Protection Act (DAMIPA) was introduced in the US Congress in 2021. The bill seeks to establish a regulatory framework for digital assets that would be overseen by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
If you are looking for a regulation that can be passed quickly, it may be more feasible to focus on state-level regulations rather than federal regulations. Some states, such as Wyoming and New York, have already enacted legislation that provides a regulatory framework for digital assets. Other states may follow suit in the coming years.
Overall, the regulatory landscape for digital assets is still evolving, and it is difficult to predict what specific regulations will be passed quickly. However, it is clear that there is a growing need for clear and comprehensive regulations that can provide certainty and promote innovation in the industry.
blockchain tipsheet: OK, let’s try this. What is the optimal federal regulatory agency for digital assets in the United States? Or, should the United States create a new federal regulatory agency for digital assets?
ChatGPT: Determining the optimal federal regulatory agency for digital assets in the United States is a complex issue that requires consideration of various factors.
Currently, multiple federal agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), have some jurisdiction over digital assets.
One argument for creating a new federal regulatory agency specifically for digital assets is that it would provide clarity and consistency in the regulatory landscape, particularly for new and emerging digital asset technologies. Such an agency could be staffed with experts in the field of digital assets and could work to coordinate with other agencies to address the unique challenges of regulating digital assets.
However, there are also arguments against creating a new federal regulatory agency for digital assets. Some may argue that creating a new agency could result in additional bureaucracy and regulatory overlap, which could ultimately slow down innovation in the industry. Additionally, it could be challenging to define the specific jurisdiction and scope of the new agency and to ensure that it has the appropriate resources and expertise to regulate digital assets effectively.
Ultimately, whether or not the United States should create a new federal regulatory agency for digital assets will depend on various factors, including the goals and objectives of the regulatory framework and the potential risks and benefits associated with creating a new agency. It may be worthwhile for policymakers and industry experts to engage in further discussions and analysis to determine the best approach for regulating digital assets in the United States.
blockchain tipsheet: So lemme ask.. Who is the most effective, current commissioner of the CFTC or SEC?
chatGPT: As an AI language model, I cannot hold personal opinions or biases.
However, I can provide some information on the current commissioners of the CFTC and SEC.
As of April 2023, the current commissioners of the CFTC are:
Rostin Behnam (Acting Chairman)
Dan Berkovitz
Dawn Stump
Brian Quintenz
The current commissioners of the SEC are:
Gary Gensler (Chairman)
Allison Lee
Caroline Crenshaw
Hester Peirce
Elad Roisman
Determining the most effective current commissioner of the CFTC or SEC can depend on various factors, including their individual accomplishments, the goals and objectives of the agency during their tenure, and the perspectives of different stakeholders. Each commissioner brings unique expertise and experiences to their role, and it is important to evaluate their contributions based on the agency’s goals and priorities.
blockchain tipsheet: Got it. Thank you.
ChatGPT needs some updates.
