The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a final rule requiring public companies to disclose AI-related risk factors and material model deployments in annual reports starting with fiscal year 2026 filings. The rule narrowed materially from the original proposal, dropping mandatory third-party model audits.
Companies must now describe (1) the nature of AI systems used in product offerings, (2) governance frameworks, and (3) any material incidents in the prior year. Compliance costs are estimated at $50K-$300K per filer annually.
