The growing adoption of artificial intelligence across businesses is expected to generate global sales of $12.5 billion in 2017 and $47 billion in 2020, representing a 55.1 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2016 and 2020. Banking and retail, in particular, will invest the most in technology, followed by healthcare and manufacturing. In aggregate, these four businesses will account for more than half of worldwide artificial intelligence income in 2016, with banking and retail sectors contributing about $1.5 billion apiece, causing digital disruption in the world. The concept of digital disruption is often framed as a type of environmental turbulence induced by digital innovation that leads to the erosion of boundaries and approaches which previously served as foundations for organizing the production and capture of value. This view of digital disruption as a major cause of fundamental creative destruction processes is echoed in white papers of IT and management firms. Such publications frequently emphasize the rapid and systemic impacts of digital disruption. For example, it is argued that digital disruption may shake ‘‘the core of every industry’’, and induce “short fuse, big bang” situations capable of threatening entire sectors. But digital disruption has a much broader meaning than efficiency. Innovation and the new entrants, Fin-Techs and the Tech Giants, in the financial value chain characterize digital disruption. Fin-Tech innovation is mostly driven from an end-customer perspective. Financial intermediaries integrate, copy the solutions of the many Fin-Techs or cooperate with them. But the real threat to financial innovations is the few Tech Giants - they have customers, technological advantages, and almost unlimited resources. Such a setup has disruption potential since it is an important step towards an open financial system.The first wave of disruption was caused by the regulatory tightening after the financial crises, as well as the advent of new technology, such as the fast-rising use of smartphones, which is enabling easier user access while also changing consumer expectations. Banks have had to adapt their business models to deal with persistently low interest rates, low credit growth, and increasing competition in retail from Fin-Tech and platform-based competitors, all of which threaten the profitability of traditional banks. The use of algorithms, big data, blockchain, peer-to-peer lending, and crowdsourcing, means that the role of the intermediary is changing: banks now face competition from other intermediaries in their core business. Digital disruption is changing the provision of services in the sector, but may also be solving some of the previous competition problems in financial markets, such as high switching costs, or high transaction costs.Furthermore, the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has put the economic foundations of the world economy at significant risk. While developed countries provide trillions of dollars in relief and support, developing countries are more constrained on the fiscal, monetary, and external payments fronts, making it difficult for them to tackle the multiple shocks triggered by the crisis. Covid-19 presented a headache for the banking sector worldwide, including the moratorium extensions, balance sheet impairments, capital shortfalls, subsequent calls for funding requirements, and the need to maintain the overall stability of the financial system arrived as another hit on the banks’ profitability. Human health and well-being are meticulously associated with the state of the environment, which includes good quality natural resources viz. clean air, water, land, and energy. This is pertinent from a broader point of view that reflects issues to be addressed by public health policies. The release of greenhouse gas emissions from industrial energy contributes significantly to climate change. Billions of people across the globe are dependent on energy resources for access to food, water, and other goods but harmful emissions harm health and the environment. Increased demand for natural resources such as oil, gas, and metallic natural resources such as gold, silver, tin, copper, lead, zinc, iron, nickel, chromium, and aluminum in the post-Covid-19 era would likely drive up their prices, which would be detrimental to fragile economic growth and impose a longer recovery period for the global economy. Unexpected resource prices, particularly in emerging and developing nations, might create greater economic uncertainty than in developed economies.This Special Issue is aimed to publish rigorously the research that helps in disseminating scientific knowledge, ideas, and strategic approaches in the domain of destructive destruction. The influential studies published in the journal shall help decide the course of destructive destructions by informing academicians, scholars, policy-makers, and other stakeholders. The following section presents several themes for potentially interesting future research opportunities in the field. This special issue of Resources Policy on the theme ‘Artificial Intelligence, Disruption of Financial Markets and Natural Resources Economy in Digital Era’ shall focus on research including aspects of digital disruption.This call for special issue welcomes submissions in the following areas but are not limited to:- Artificial intelligence and natural resources extraction
