The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Financial Risks Management in Higher Education

Dear Colleagues,

This issue aims to explore the challenges and opportunities associated with the increasing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education, with a particular focus on the financial risks and their management. 

In recent years, the integration of AI in higher education has rapidly expanded, offering innovative solutions for teaching, learning, research, and administration. These developments have the potential to significantly impact the financial landscape of higher education institutions. As AI transforms the way education is delivered, it is crucial to understand, assess, and manage the financial risks associated with this transition. 

We invite original research articles, reviews, case studies, and opinion pieces that address, but are not limited to, the following topics: 

1. The financial implications of AI adoption in higher education institutions
2. Risk assessment and management strategies for AI-driven initiatives
3. The impact of AI on the cost structure of higher education institutions
4. AI as a tool for optimizing resource allocation and budgeting in higher education
5. The role of AI in tuition pricing and financial aid
6. The effect of AI on the workforce in higher education, including potential job displacement and reskilling
7. Ethical considerations and social implications of AI integration in higher education
8. The role of public and private funding in AI-driven higher education initiatives
9. Successful models of AI implementation and their financial outcomes
