India's markets regulator sets up task force to tackle AI-driven cyber threats

India's markets regulator issued an advisory on emerging AI-driven vulnerability detection tools, warning that their use could introduce new cybersecurity risks for regulated entities. The message is precautionary rather than punitive, but it underscores heightened compliance and operational-risk scrutiny around AI adoption. Market impact should be limited, though the warning may temper near-term enthusiasm for AI-enabled security tools in regulated sectors.
