Abstract

Risk management is a critical function in U.S. financial institutions, ensuring stability, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience. Traditionally, risk management relied on historical data, expert judgment, and static models. However, the rapid evolution of data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning has transformed risk assessment and mitigation strategies, enabled real-time decision-making and enhanced predictive capabilities. This review explores a theoretical perspective on data-driven risk management, focusing on process optimization in financial institutions. This examines foundational risk management theories, including modern portfolio theory, value-at-risk models, and Bayesian risk assessment, highlighting their integration with contemporary data-driven methodologies. The role of big data, AI, and automation in risk identification, assessment, and mitigation is analyzed, showcasing how predictive analytics and anomaly detection enhance fraud prevention, credit risk modeling, and market risk evaluation. Furthermore, the review discusses the impact of real-time risk monitoring systems, regulatory compliance automation, and cloud-based risk dashboards on operational efficiency. Process optimization in risk management is explored through the lens of automation, algorithmic decision-making, and data governance. Case studies of large U.S. banks and fintech firms illustrate successful implementations of AI-driven risk strategies. The study also addresses challenges such as data security, ethical concerns in AI risk modeling, and regulatory constraints. Future trends, including blockchain applications, quantum computing in risk analytics, and evolving regulatory frameworks, are discussed to provide insights into the next phase of data-driven risk management. The findings suggest that financial institutions must integrate data-driven approaches with traditional risk management frameworks to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and regulatory adaptability. By leveraging advanced analytics and automation, institutions can optimize risk processes, improve resilience, and navigate the complexities of an increasingly digital financial landscape.
