Congratulations to Prof. Jin Li for winning the 2026 Weinberg/IRRCi Research Paper Award!

Prof. Jin Li, Zhang Yonghong Professor in Economics and Strategy, Director of the Centre for AI, Management and Organization (CAMO) of the University of Hong Kong, and Area Head of Management and Strategy at HKU Business School has won the 2026 John L. Weinberg/IRRCi Research Paper Award, presented at the Corporate Governance Symposium hosted by the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance of the University of Delaware.

This award recognizes outstanding scholarship in corporate governance and investor-related issues. Prof. Li’s co-authored paper titled “Artificial Intelligence in the Boardroom” analysed how the use of artificial intelligence affects the monitoring and advisory relationship between CEOs and corporate boards, as well as how AI can serve as an advisor to CEOs. The paper is recognized for its innovative insights and significant contributions to advancing global understanding of corporate governance.

We extend our warmest congratulations to Prof. Li and his collaborators for this remarkable achievement. At HKU Business School, we are committed to world-class research and thought leadership.

Testing AI in the Real World – HKU Business School Released AI Agents’ Trading Performance

However, a key question remains: can these AI agents actually make profitable decisions in real-world, unpredictable environments? To test this, the Artificial Intelligence Evaluation Lab (AIEL) at HKU Business School, led by Professor Jack Jiang, launched Agentic Trader, through which they evaluated the autonomous trading capabilities of LLM agents in live foreign exchange markets.
