Korean Regulators Expand AI Surveillance Systems

The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) said Monday it is upgrading VISTA, an AI-powered virtual asset surveillance platform, after installing two high-performance servers in December and developing automated detection models that scan intervals from seconds to months. The agency secured a 170 million won budget for 2026 to upgrade servers and add network-detection and text analytics across thousands of crypto assets. Separately, the Financial Services Commission and Korea Exchange will launch an AI-driven cyber surveillance system Tuesday to detect stock manipulation and analyze online posts, videos and price movements.
