The article explores the transformational role of artificial intelligence in predicting economic risks, from the micro-level of financial distress of individual companies to the macro-level of systemic financial instability. Based on the analysis of advanced research – LLM forecasting of financial network indicators, a two-stage BIS market stress monitoring system, and a methodology for predicting financial distress based on AI implementation signals – key mechanisms for improving forecast accuracy are considered.: LLM's ability to integrate heterogeneous data types, identify nonlinear patterns, and generate interpretable explanations. Special attention is paid to new systemic risks generated by AI itself: algorithmic herd behavior, cognitive dependence, and concentration on external providers. Based on empirical data, two tables are presented that characterize the accuracy of AI models in forecasting and key channels of systemic risk. It is concluded that AI is both a solution and a source of economic risks, requiring the formation of a new risk management paradigm combining technological innovation with human oversight and international coordination.
