Abstract

This Master’s dissertation examines the emergence of Artificial Intelligence in the financial sector, with particular focus on its application in the management of investment funds 4 actors that increasingly play a pivotal role in the stability and development of financial markets. The research seeks to assess the extent to which these technologies 4 endowed with the ability to process large volumes of data, automate decision-making, and reshape asset allocation strategies 4 may enhance investment efficiency and rationality, while still upholding the fundamental principles of investor protection. Acknowledging that such innovations bring not only benefits but also heightened risks, the study undertakes a legal analysis of the civil liability regime applicable to management companies of collective investment undertakings employing AI systems. Furthermore, the dissertation explores, albeit briefly, certain preventive measures that may contribute to the mitigation or elimination of potential harm.
