The purpose of this study is to explore the point of view and different perspectives of young entrepreneurs about the convergence of AI and entrepreneurship by conducting semi structured interviews to collect the data. The data driven form interviews presented a pleasant knitted relation between the entrepreneurial journey and AI technological integration. The integration of artificial intelligence has transformed conventional business practices to more advanced tools, resulting in increased effectiveness, reduced expenses, and better decision making.
This research found that AI adoption in daily business operations has given a lifeline to new entrepreneurs to compete against the corporate businesses, this finding was the mainstay of the interviews given by the young business persons for this paper.
