AI is already playing a central role in financial decision-making. Whether it’s forecasting trends, automating credit checks, detecting fraud, or managing portfolios, AI systems promise speed and precision. But when these tools are used to shape high-stakes financial outcomes, the ethical stakes are just as high.
This section helps learners critically explore the use and impact of AI in finance, focusing on where bias, opacity, and lack of accountability can emerge—and how to manage these risks responsibly. How do we know an AI-generated credit score is fair? Can we trust an algorithm to spot compliance issues? What happens when trades are triggered by automated systems?
These materials equip learners with the tools to question and evaluate the role of AI in finance, preparing them to lead responsibly in this critical sector.
