SEBI issues guidelines on AI use in capital markets
SEBI's IOSCO-aligned AI framework signals a cross-jurisdictional pattern in financial market regulation that ASIC and Treasury may track.
Key points
- India's SEBI is developing a comprehensive AI governance framework for capital markets, referencing IOSCO's AI supervisory toolkit.
- IOSCO integration is directly relevant to ASIC, which also uses IOSCO frameworks to shape Australian financial market regulation.
- Guidelines are announced but not yet published - concrete obligations and timelines remain unclear.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Monitor ASIC policy teams and Treasury may want to monitor SEBI's published guidelines for how IOSCO's AI supervisory toolkit is operationalised, as a potential leading indicator for Australian financial market AI governance.

India's securities regulator SEBI has announced it will issue detailed guidelines on the responsible use of AI in capital markets, with chair Tuhin Kanta Pandey citing benefits in surveillance, fraud detection, and investor servicing alongside risks of opacity, bias, and cybersecurity. SEBI plans to integrate IOSCO's AI supervisory toolkit into its approach and establish an expert panel to guide a five- and ten-year roadmap for market infrastructure institutions. The guidelines have been flagged but not yet published. For Australian readers, the IOSCO connection is the key signal: ASIC similarly draws on IOSCO frameworks, meaning SEBI's approach may foreshadow comparable guidance in Australia's financial markets regulatory environment.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Monitor] ASIC policy teams and Treasury may want to monitor SEBI's published guidelines for how IOSCO's AI supervisory toolkit is operationalised, as a potential leading indicator for Australian financial market AI governance.
