PURVIEW
Sets SEBI’s framework for safer participation by retail investors in algorithmic trading. Its importance for AI regulation lies in the treatment of automated or algorithmic trading as a market-activity risk that requires controlled access, disclosure, safeguards and investor protection rather than being left entirely to technical implementation. The framework is relevant to AI where machine-learning or automated strategies influence orders, execution or investment decisions. For privacy and governance, it also highlights the need to control system access, maintain traceability and ensure that automated market functions operate within clearly defined accountability and risk boundaries.
