Sebi Deploys AI Tool Sudarshan To Tackle Finfluencer Posts

In a major step toward regulating digital financial content, Sebi has deployed its AI-driven surveillance tool, Sudarshan, to monitor and remove misleading posts by finfluencers. According to Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey, the regulator has already taken down more than 1.2 lakh posts that were found to spread inaccurate or harmful investment advice.  

Sudarshan uses advanced algorithms to scan social media platforms and digital channels, identifying patterns of misinformation and potential market manipulation. The initiative reflects Sebi’s growing focus on investor protection in the age of digital finance, where unverified advice can quickly reach millions.
