Abstract

This chapter considers the innovative use of AI in enhancing sustainable entrepreneurship, inclusive business models, and regional integration. It outlines how AI can be used to be more resourceful, minimize waste, and improve energy utilization to create sustainable products and services by demonstrating AI solutions that improve access to markets, finance, and information for marginalized groups, promoting inclusivity. It also shows the effects of AI on economic and social inclusion in cities, across regions, and broken societies by reducing/preventing gaps, stimulating economic growth, and enhancing the welfare of people. Consequently, the chapter advances AI integration into business and regional management to produce an optimal result with regards to building more efficient societies. Case studies are included to show how AI has been successfully applied in the real world and further illustrate the challenges and constraints that require further resolution in order to achieve sustainable entrepreneurship, inclusiveness, and regional integration.
