THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, AND ECONOMIC EDUCATION FOR GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY IN THE AGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: A THEORETICAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a transformative force reshaping global economic systems, business models, entrepreneurial activities, and educational paradigms. As economies evolve into knowledge-driven, technology-intensive systems, business, entrepreneurship, and economic education play a strategic role in developing the human capital necessary for sustainable and inclusive economic growth. Adopting a theoretical and opinion-based approach, this paper examines how AI is redefining the objectives, content, and delivery of education for sustainable economic, business and entrepreneurship. Drawing on contemporary theories and recent literature, the study posits that AI literacy, ethical competence, interdisciplinary learning, and a sustainability orientation are now essential to align educational outcomes with future economic demands. The analysis highlights the opportunities, challenges, and ethical considerations inherent in AI integration and concludes with policy-relevant recommendations for enhancing education's role in fostering resilient and sustainable economic development.
