Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) into corporate finance has transformed how organisations perceive, evaluate, and manage financial risk. This special issue on “AI-Driven Risk Management and Decision Making in Corporate Finance” invites cutting-edge research that explores how intelligent algorithms, data analytics, and automation are reshaping financial decision processes at both strategic and operational levels.
AI technologies now underpin core functions such as credit scoring, portfolio optimisation, liquidity forecasting, fraud detection, and capital allocation. However, these advances introduce new challenges: model risk, algorithmic bias, explainability, and governance. The issue seeks contributions that balance innovation with accountability—addressing how AI can enhance predictive accuracy and decision efficiency while maintaining transparency, fairness, and ethical compliance in financial management.
Emphasis is placed on the interplay between AI-enabled decision support systems and human judgment in complex financial environments. Research that bridges theory and practice—such as empirical studies, simulations, or case analysis is encouraged. Submissions may also consider regulatory implications, data security, and sustainable finance dimensions of AI risk management.
Ultimately, this special issue aims to build a comprehensive framework for understanding and guiding AI adoption in corporate finance, highlighting both its transformative potential and its inherent risks.
