The broad scope of applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in many fields has also raised important issues concerning responsible practice and sustainability of the environment. In the current research, designing ethical AI systems and their impact on the environment are argued with a...

We model several ways in which AI may improve decisions, raise the productivity of firms, and raise human capital growth. Each focuses on activities that involve problem solving, with solutions being guided by signals. If AI raises the accuracy of the signals, humans will then make better...

Rapidly economies, fundamentally altering the structures of industries, labour markets, productivity patterns, and value creation mechanisms. As nations and economic impact is both profound and multifaceted. AI serves as a general-purpose technology, similar to electricity or the internet, with...
