Insider trading detection has historically relied on whistleblowers and regulatory audits. Now, AI is offering a proactive approach. By scanning massive datasets and looking for unusual trading patterns, AI can detect suspicious activity before it's officially flagged.

Techniques Used

• Pattern recognition in unusual volumes or timing


• Cross-referencing trades with press releases or insider transactions


• Real-time alerts when anomalies arise

Case Study

In 2023, a fintech startup using AI flagged a sudden surge in options trades days before a major acquisition was announced. Regulatory bodies later confirmed insider activity.

Ethical Use

While powerful, these tools must be used responsibly. False positives can damage reputations. That's why at Rapid Labs, our systems use multi-tier anomaly detection to minimize errors and maintain compliance.
