The move comes amid the increasing need for monitoring fake information in the stock market which is made quite easy due to artificial intelligence.

Any claims of high and guaranteed investment returns with little or no risk are known to be classic warning signs of fraud. Even though the emergence of DeepSeek has been motivating investors and fund managers to embrace AI, their adoption of technology also raises the chances of them being scammed at the hands of it. Anything from cloned voices to altered images and fake videos can be used to spread investment misinformation.
In order to combat the spread of misinformation, the China Securities Regulatory Commission said that it would be proactive in dispelling stock market rumours. They will do this by issuing clarifications and boosting investor education and guidance to “enhance investors’ ability to spot” fake information.
According to the DC Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking (DISB), some warning signs of a fake actor/promoter are their lack of registration status. To avoid falling victim to it, users can use the Investor.gov website to confirm the registration status of investment professionals and check for disciplinary history.
