It alleged that Ripplewood, an established New York-based investment company, wanted to source ChatGPT technology to plot market trends and drive investment decisions. An extract from this news release read: “Through the use of artificial intelligence, investors should benefit from greater accuracy in forecasting market developments.”</p>
<p>Once EQS sounded the alarm, <a href="https://www.leaprate.com/financial-services/exchanges/london-stock-exchange-group-sees-an-almost-5-total-income-increase-for-h1-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LSE</a> removed this article and stated:</p>
<blockquote><p>We were made aware of a potentially erroneous press release being displayed on the LSE website and other news platforms. The non-regulatory press release originated from one of our newswire partners and upon notification from them, the press release was deleted from our website.</p></blockquote>
<p>EQS also issued a statement in which it confirmed it deactivated the account behind this article and continues to investigate the matter. The same account published an earlier article, submitting that Ripplewood is extending its European endeavours. Appointing lawyers, Ripplewood aims to put a stop to this alleged impersonation, which seems to be using the company’s name to generate fraudulent funds.</p>
