Abstract
The development of artificial intelligence has brought tremendous changes to enterprises and also pose higher demands on financial professionals. Through literature research, this paper explores the viewpoints of domestic and foreign scholars and industry experts on the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on corporate financial management and the role transformation of financial professionals. It analyzes the current application status of AI technology in finance. The results indicate that AI will replace some repetitive and highly procedural tasks, such as simple data entry and bookkeeping. AI can improve the processing speed and accuracy of corporate financial data. With its learning capabilities, AI can assist financial professionals in addressing knowledge gaps. However, AI cannot completely replace human thinking, judgment, and decision-making, especially in areas like emotional communication and aesthetic experience. This requires financial professionals to continuously improve their overall qualities, leverage their strengths, and achieve complementary advantages with machines, jointly promoting innovative financial development in the era of artificial intelligence.
