Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New technology, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence (AI) contribute to operational efficiency through automation and predictive analytics, improving profitability and decision-making (Zhai et al., 2021). Studies have also shown that AI-driven solutions have been employed in fraud detection and cybersecurity thus enhancing the overall stability of financial institutions by reducing their vulnerability to threats. AI is currently utilized in classification tasks and early warning systems to identify credit risks and fraudulent activities while providing real-time monitoring of the performance of firms or banks (Bahoo et al., 2024). Additionally, new technology in risk management, such as machine learning algorithms, allows for the faster and more accurate detection of financial risks than traditional methods (Butaru et al., 2016).
Positioned within the growing literature on digital transformation, this Issue addresses a critical gap by linking technological innovation directly to financial stability and performance, providing valuable insights for academics, industry professionals, and policymakers.
This Special Issue focuses on the integration of new technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI) within the firm performance, exploring its impact on operational efficiency and financial stability.
