Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly embedded in financial systems, such as portfolio management, algorithmic trading, credit risk modeling, fraud detection, and insurance underwriting, its ability to perceive, model, and respond to risk is critical for ensuring robustness, transparency, and timely decision-making. Traditional financial risk analysis has relied on structured models and expert judgment; however, the growing complexity, speed, and interconnectedness of global financial markets necessitate more adaptive and intelligent approaches to assess risk.
This Special Issue focuses on the emerging paradigm of “AI risk perception” within finance and economics. We invite the submission of original research and reviews that explore how AI technologies enhance or transform financial risk perception, reasoning, and decision-making. Topics of interest include AI-driven risk quantification, market anomaly detection, uncertainty modeling in finance, AI-enabled stress testing, human–AI collaboration in financial decisions, and explainability in AI risk models. Research addressing the implications of AI in regulatory compliance, behavioral finance, and risk governance is also encouraged.
We aim to collate both theoretical advances and practical applications that illustrate the role of AI in managing financial uncertainty, improving risk-adjusted performance, and supporting resilient economic systems.
