Abstract

We are witnessing a paradigm shift regarding how people purchase, access, consume, and utilize products and services as well as how companies operate, grow, and deal with challenges in a world that is continuously changing. This transformation is unpredictable thanks to fast-growing technological innovations. One of the cornerstones is artificial intelligence (AI). AI is probably the most rapidly expanding field of technology, due to the strong and increasingly diversified commercial revenue stream it has generated. The anticipated benefits and risks of the pervasive use of AI have encouraged politicians, economists, and policy makers to pay more attention to the results. Given the fact that AI's internal decisionmaking process is nontransparent, some experts consider it to be a significant existential risk to humanity, while other scholars argue for maximizing the technology's exploitation.
