Form ADV disclosures
Technology and AI firms registered as investment advisers face direct Form ADV disclosure obligations that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has sharpened through its 2023 amendments to Part 1A and Part 2A, requiring advisers to itemize algorithmic conflicts, data monetization practices, and material relationships with affiliated technology vendors. The SEC's Division of Examinations has flagged AI-related disclosure gaps as a 2024 examination priority, which means compliance teams at tech-sector RIAs are actively auditing their brochure language against actual model usage before the next exam cycle.
