Abstract :
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries, economies, and societies at a global scale. This research explores the ethical, social, and forward-looking consequences of AI adoption, drawing evidence from global datasets and reports such as the Stanford AI Index, the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report, NIST evaluations, the International Energy Agency, and policy frameworks including the EU AI Act and OECD AI Principles. The findings highlight challenges including algorithmic bias, job market disruptions, privacy risks, and environmental concerns. For instance, U.S. private AI investment surpassed $109 billion in 2024, while global projections suggest 83 million jobs may be displaced and 69 million created by 2027. Furthermore, AI-related data center electricity demand is expected to rise sharply, potentially reaching 945 TWh by 2030. The study concludes with recommendations focused on ethical system design, transparent regulation, inclusive workforce strategies, sustainable deployment, and stronger international collaboration
