Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites original research, reviews, and conceptual papers that explore the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) across banking and insurance. As AI technologies, ranging from machine learning and natural language processing to generative models and autonomous agents, rapidly evolve, their integration into financial decision-making, risk assessment, fraud detection, and customer engagement is reshaping the future of finance.
We welcome contributions that examine both theoretical and applied dimensions of AI in finance, including algorithmic trading, robo-advisory systems, credit scoring, financial forecasting, and ESG analytics. Studies addressing ethical, regulatory, and governance challenges associated with AI deployment in financial services are particularly encouraged.
This Special Issue also seeks interdisciplinary perspectives that connect AI with behavioral finance, financial inclusion, and digital sustainability. Methodological innovations such as explainable AI (XAI), hybrid modeling, and AI-enhanced econometrics are of special interest.
By showcasing cutting-edge research and critical reflections, this Special Issue aims to advance scholarly understanding of how AI is redefining financial practices, institutions, and policy frameworks in the digital age.
