Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of the Journal of Risk and Financial Management aims to explore the profound impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the finance and economy sector, focusing on both the opportunities and risks associated with its integration. AI is revolutionizing financial markets through enhanced decision making, predictive analytics, algorithmic trading, and automation, but it also introduces significant challenges related to ethics, governance, and systemic risk. This collection will offer a comprehensive overview of these issues, emphasizing AI’s dual role as both a tool for improving financial and economic outcomes and a potential source of instability.
This Special Issue invites contributions from leading scholars and industry practitioners, covering diverse topics such as the impact of AI on market efficiency, AI-driven credit scoring models, and the development of fraud detection mechanisms. It will also address the implications of machine learning and deep learning algorithms in risk management, portfolio optimization, and financial forecasting. In addition, the Special Issue seeks to provide insights into the regulatory and policy frameworks needed to mitigate the risks of AI in finance, such as algorithmic transparency and accountability challenges. Papers offering theoretical, empirical, and policy analysis of AI's socio-economic and ethical dimensions in finance and economics are welcome.
This interdisciplinary collection is designed to serve as a critical resource for academics, policymakers, and finance professionals. It will provide a deeper understanding of the evolving role of AI in shaping financial markets while addressing the practical, ethical, and regulatory challenges that must be navigated in the AI-driven future of finance. The research presented in this Special Issue will push the boundaries of academic thought and offer actionable insights for practitioners aiming to harness AI’s potential responsibly and effectively.
