DFSA warns of AI trading risks as brokers expand automated execution

AI-assisted source summary · not independently verified. Content standards

DFSA published a research report warning that brokers allowing AI assistants to directly access trading accounts and automatically execute trades could expose them to operational errors and system control failures. The report said Agentic AI can submit trade instructions without requiring human approval at each stage, but the study is not a new regulation or a proposal for mandatory AI controls. Forex and CFD brokers offering automated trading, AI account tools, or connections to external platforms may be affected.
