Abstract
This paper examines the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in reshaping the entrepreneurial process across multiple dimensions. Through a comprehensive analysis of recent research and literature, the study explores how AI technologies are revolutionizing key aspects of entrepreneurship, from opportunity identification to resource optimization and value creation. The research identifies ten critical areas where AI serves as an external enabler for entrepreneurial outcomes, including market intelligence, innovation, customer engagement, and risk management. The study also addresses significant challenges in AI implementation, such as integration complexities, data quality concerns, and ethical implications, while proposing strategic frameworks for overcoming these obstacles. Furthermore, the paper outlines future considerations for AI in entrepreneurship, encompassing technological evolution, regulatory landscape, and sustainability impacts. This analysis contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the intersection of AI and entrepreneurship, offering practical insights for entrepreneurs and researchers alike.
