The SEC’s 2024 actions against Delphia and Global Predictions show that existing adviser and marketing rules apply to AI claims. Firms should substantiate public statements, and investors should ask what the system actually does and what evidence supports the claim.
Kudzika Kwakadzika
“AI washing” describes claims that exaggerate or misrepresent an organization’s use of artificial intelligence. In March 2024, the SEC announced settled charges against Delphia and Global Predictions for false and misleading statements about purported AI capabilities. The SEC said Delphia claimed to use client data and machine learning in investment decisions when it had not built the represented capability; Global Predictions made misleading claims about AI-driven forecasts and its adviser status. The cases do not mean every AI-related claim is unlawful. They illustrate that securities laws and advertising rules apply to statements about technology, just as they apply to other material claims. Financial firms should make sure marketing describes actual systems, data use, model capabilities, and human review accurately. Aspirational research plans should not be presented as current production capability. Records should support claims made in filings, websites, and sales materials. Investors can ask what task AI performs, whether it affects recommendations or operations, which data are used, and how results are validated. Check adviser registration and disciplinary history in SEC/IAPD. Be skeptical of claims that AI guarantees superior returns or removes investment risk. This guide summarizes public enforcement examples and is not legal advice or an assessment of any particular company. The enforcement examples identify what firms claimed and what the SEC said was inaccurate in those matters. They do not establish that all advisers using AI make misleading statements.

The Future of AI Washing in Financial Services
Regulators may continue to examine technology claims as AI products evolve. Firms can reduce risk by making specific, verifiable statements and preserving evidence for them. Investors should focus on the service, fees, conflicts, and track record rather than the AI branding. Trustworthy disclosure is more useful than broad claims about transformation. Keep substantiation available for regulators and clients, and correct public statements promptly when capabilities change. Clear attribution helps investors compare material statements with actual products and audited records clearly.
Real-World Implementation
An adviser claims AI analyzes client data but cannot show that the represented capability exists.
A compliance team compares marketing statements with actual models, data, and deployment records.
An investor checks adviser registration and disclosures before relying on an AI claim.
A company explains whether AI supports research, customer service, or portfolio recommendations.
