AI washing involves using AI buzzwords to seem more innovative, when the actual use of AI is limited
-
The complexity of financial products makes it easy for firms to conceal the reality behind flashy AI claims
-
Lack of AI regulation allows companies to exploit loopholes and mislead investors, eroding trust

Investors should verify credentials, ask questions, learn AI basics, and be wary of "too good to be true" promises to avoid falling victim to AI washing
