The amendment establishes that regulated entities utilizing AI and machine learning tools, whether proprietary or third-party, are solely accountable for data privacy, security, and integrity of investors' information. Entities bear complete responsibility for AI-generated outputs and regulatory compliance. The regulation encompasses all AI applications used for investment, trading, strategy dissemination, or internal operations. SEBI reserves the right to take punitive action under Chapter V for violations. The amendment defines AI tools as any software, program, or system used for investment-related activities or compliance purposes, applying to all SEBI-regulated persons as defined in regulation 16A.
