SEBI Plans New AI Rules to Protect Investors

Imagine opening a stock market app and seeing an AI-powered system analysing market data, detecting risks and helping financial institutions make decisions. But what happens if that AI makes a mistake? To address such concerns, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is preparing detailed guidelines for the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in capital markets. SEBI Chairman said the proposed rules will focus on investor protection, proper disclosures, accountability and human supervision of important AI-driven decisions. The regulator also highlighted rising cyber threats and the possible risks of quantum computing. It is developing supervisory tools, including its AI-based tool called 'Sudarshan', to improve market monitoring. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) could be an indirect beneficiary. As financial institutions strengthen their AI systems, cybersecurity and digital infrastructure, demand for technology services may create business opportunities for IT companies like TCS. However, this is a potential opportunity, not a confirmed business gain. Responsible AI adoption could make financial markets safer, improve monitoring and build greater investor confidence. The challenge is to encourage innovation without compromising market integrity. Clear AI rules may encourage financial firms to invest in safer technology, cybersecurity, monitoring systems, and responsible digital solutions.
