L’intelligenza artificiale nei processi gestori dell’impresa. | Artificial Intelligence and the management process of the company

The contribution wants to provide an analysis of the state of the art in the field of artificial intelligence in the management processes of the companies, with a specific focus on the relevance that algorithms could cover in the corporate governance. Especially, starting from a general examination of artificial intelligence, the aim is to analyze what – currently – are the limits that do not allow an algorithm to directly cover the role of director within a board of directors. In fact, although the scientific literature is investigating in favor of openings on the topic, this possibility is held back both by technological limitations, concerning the methods of development of the algorithms, and by subjective limitations, regarding the current impossibility of recognizing a legal status for them. Along these reflections – without any claim to exhaustiveness – it is considered the doctrinal solution of the indirect nomination of an A.I. within the board, and also some developments deriving from the generic inclusion of the A.I. in management contexts.
