Introduction

Decoding AI: Unleashing the Future of Business and Finance examines the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence on modern business and financial ecosystems. With a strong emphasis on innovation, risk management, ethical deployment, and predictive intelligence, the book offers a comprehensive view of how AI is reshaping sectors such as banking, insurance, accounting, fintech, and beyond.

Across twelve insightful chapters, the book traces the evolution of AI-driven transformation, from the emergence of banking in the metaverse and AI-enabled climate risk mitigation to fraud detection, underwriting, credit scoring, and accounting practices, with a special focus on emerging markets such as India. Later chapters explore fintech risk management, cross-sector predictive analytics, and the ethical challenges posed by generative AI. The concluding sections focus on trust, governance frameworks, workforce transformation, and the future trajectory of AI-powered organisations.
