Resumo


This study aims to emphasize the significance of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in the corporate governance of commercial enterprises. The researcher has chosen the Metaverse technology as a case study. The first section of the research explores the concept of the Metaverse, while the second section examines how this technology can be integrated into corporate governance systems. To address the research problem, the study adopts both the descriptive and analytical methodologies. The issue of the research is that it investigates the potential of integrating artificial intelligence applications, more particularly Metaverse technology, into corporate governance systems. Among the key objectives is to establish whether the integration can establish a collaborative and trustworthy business environment that improves healthy competition between shareholders and a company's management. The research also aims to examine the existence and role of global collaboration in improving the performance of AI applications and their seamless integration into corporate governance systems. The findings of the study show that the applications of Metaverse in corporate governance can largely enhance governance principles, and that these applications play a significant role in enhancing management and supervision while enabling shareholders and stakeholders to audit information and thereby gain a sense of security and trust. Regarding the primary recommendations, the researcher strongly advises that business organizations must adopt AI applications in their activities, as this would significantly enhance governance processes. Additionally, organizations should implement programs for the improvement of information security and privacy.
