Abstract

This research aims to examine the role of artificial intelligence applications (AI) in enhancing  and improving the financial productivity of private equity firms. The study tested 118 private  placement firms in Malaysia from 2019 to 2024, by using secondary data and annual reports.  The research results indicate that AI is positively associated with improving the financial  productivity of private placement firms. AI has become an effective instrument in managing  and enhancing operational processes; its advanced analytical capabilities, automation of prediction of market trends, repetitive tasks, and decision-making depend on large amounts of  data. A range of AI applications were analyzed, and the AI has become a critical factor in  enhancing financial productivity in companies and institutions, with multiple impacts  spanning operational, analytical, and strategic aspects.
