Beyond Algorithms: Artificial Intelligence’s Impact and Applications in Economics and Finance

The authors of this study aim to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications, providing readers with holistic understanding of how AI is transforming economic analysis, market predictions, decision-making, and policy formulation. In this context, Beyond Algorithms: Artificial Intelligence's Impact and Applications in Economics and Finance seeks to equip economists, policymakers, researchers, and students with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the complex landscape of AI-driven economics. As we explore the synergies between AI and economic theory, we invite readers to consider both the opportunities and challenges that arise from this technological revolution, encouraging critical thinking about the long-term implications for economic systems, labor markets, and societal well-being. In an era where the pace of technological advancement continues to accelerate, understanding the intersection of AI and economics becomes not just an academic pursuit but a necessity for informed decision-making, and knowledge driven policy framing in both public and private sectors. In that regard, this book aspires to serve as a theoretical, and practical guide, fostering interdisciplinary studies and inspiring further research in the field. As we embark on this intellectual journey, we invite readers to engage critically with the ideas presented, envisioning a future where the thoughtful integration of AI and economic principles leads to more efficient, equitable, and sustainable economic systems.
