SEBI is using AI to monitor social media for fraud. India has been here before
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has implemented an AI system named Project SUDARSAN to monitor social media for fraudulent investment claims, operational since November 2025. This system has identified over 20,000 instances of fraudulent content, including unregistered advice and impersonation of regulated entities. SEBI's initiative comes as a response to a survey indicating that 62% of investors are influenced by financial influencers, highlighting the need for enhanced regulatory oversight in the digital space.
