Challenges of Artificial Intelligence for the Prevention and Identification of Bankruptcy Risk in Financial Institutions: A Systematic Review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The identification and prediction of financial bankruptcy has gained relevance due to its impact on economic and financial stability. This study performs a systematic review of artificial intelligence (AI) models used in bankruptcy prediction, evaluating their performance and relevance using the PRISMA and PICOC frameworks. Traditional models such as random forest, logistic regression, KNN, and neural networks are analyzed, along with advanced techniques such as Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), hybrid models, and ensemble methods such as bagging and boosting. The findings highlight that, although traditional models are useful for their simplicity and low computational cost, advanced techniques such as LSTM and XGBoost stand out for their high accuracy, sometimes exceeding 99%. However, these techniques present significant challenges, such as the need for large volumes of data and high computational resources. This paper identifies strengths and limitations of these approaches and analyses their practical implications, highlighting the superiority of AI in terms of accuracy, timeliness, and early detection compared to traditional financial ratios, which remain essential tools. In conclusion, the review proposes approaches that integrate scalability and practicality, offering predictive solutions tailored to real financial contexts with limited resources.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
