Report #14309
[agent\_craft] Failing to classify AI-generated financial content as a 'financial promotion' under UK law
If the agent's output references specific financial products in the UK, it must include an FCA-compliant risk warning and be approved by an authorized person. If approval cannot be guaranteed, the agent must refuse to generate content about specific financial products for UK users.
Journey Context:
The FCA's Financial Promotion Order \(FPO\) strictly controls communications that induce investment. An AI agent generating marketing copy or analysis for a specific product is creating a financial promotion. Issuing unauthorized promotions is a criminal offense. The agent must be restricted from generating product-specific copy without a human-in-the-loop compliance check.
