Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digital Entrepreneurship, Global Economy, Decentralized Finance (DeFi)Abstract
The rapid advancement of blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the global landscape of digital entrepreneurship. Blockchain enhances trust, transparency, and security in digital transactions, while AI empowers entrepreneurs with tools for automation, predictive analytics, and personalized customer experiences. Together, these technologies reduce barriers to entry, enable global market access, and streamline operations for digital businesses. This paper explores the synergistic potential of blockchain and AI in transforming traditional business models into decentralized and data-driven ecosystems. Key applications include smart contracts, decentralized finance (DeFi), AI-driven marketing, and automated decision-making systems. Additionally, the study examines the challenges entrepreneurs face, such as regulatory hurdles and ethical concerns, and suggests strategies to overcome them. By leveraging these transformative technologies, digital entrepreneurs can thrive in a competitive and rapidly evolving global economy.
