APPLICABILITY OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE: A PARADIGM OF THE PRESENT
A significant shift in contemporary business practices is represented by incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into corporate governance. Stakeholder involvement, compliance, risk management, and decision-making are just a few of the areas where AI is relevant. By employing data-driven insights and predictive analytic, artificial intelligence enhances transparency, operational effectiveness, and strategic foresight while mitigating human biases. Among other possibilities and challenges, this approach acknowledges ethical concerns, data privacy, and responsibility. As businesses adapt to this shifting environment, artificial intelligence (AI) becomes a crucial tool in transforming governance systems to meet the demands of the present and the future.
Keywords: artificial intelligence, corporate governance, inclusion, transparency, data.
