YAPAY ZEKÂ VE FİNANSAL RİSK YÖNETİMİNDE YENİLİKLER

Öz

Bu çalışma, yapay zekâ temelli yöntemlerin finansal risk yönetiminde yarattığı dönüşümü kavramsal bir çerçevede incelemektedir. Geleneksel risk yönetimi yaklaşımlarının doğrusal varsayımlara ve sınırlı veri işleme kapasitesine dayanması, finansal piyasaların artan karmaşıklığı karşısında yetersiz kalmaktadır. Bu bağlamda makale, makine öğrenmesi, derin öğrenme ve doğal dil işleme uygulamalarının kredi, piyasa, likidite ve operasyonel risklerin yönetiminde nasıl konumlandığını ve mevcut risk yönetimi mimarisini hangi açılardan dönüştürdüğünü ele almaktadır. Çalışma, ekonometrik analiz içermeyen, güncel literatürün sistematik değerlendirilmesine dayalı nitel bir yöntem benimsemektedir. Bulgular, yapay zekâ tabanlı modellerin tahmin gücünü artırdığını, gerçek zamanlı veri kullanımını mümkün kıldığını ve doğrusal olmayan risk dinamiklerini yakalayabildiğini göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte, model şeffaflığı, açıklanabilirlik ve algoritmik önyargı gibi yeni risk alanları da ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda çalışma, yapay zekânın etkin ve sürdürülebilir kullanımı için yönetişim ve düzenleyici uyumun güçlendirilmesine yönelik politika çıkarımları sunmaktadır.

INNOVATIONS IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Öz

This study examines the transformation of financial risk management driven by artificial intelligence–based methods within a conceptual framework. Traditional risk management approaches, built on linear assumptions and limited data-processing capacity, have become inadequate amid the growing complexity of financial markets. Accordingly, the article analyzes the role of machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing techniques in managing credit, market, liquidity, and operational risks, and their impact on existing risk management frameworks. The study adopts a qualitative methodology based on a systematic review of recent academic literature, without employing econometric analysis. The findings indicate that AI-based models improve predictive accuracy, enable real-time data use, and capture nonlinear risk dynamics. However, they also introduce challenges related to model transparency, explainability, and algorithmic bias. Therefore, the study highlights the importance of strengthening governance mechanisms and regulatory alignment to ensure the effective and sustainable use of artificial intelligence in financial risk management.
