Artificial intelligence (AI) no longer arrives in institutions as a single, well-defined tool. It arrives as a condition that continuously reshapes how ministries write policy, courts manage cases, hospitals weigh clinical risk, educators teach future generations, and businesses compete for customers.

AI in Business and Government brings together twenty-one peer-reviewed chapters from authors across four continents and more than a dozen countries — including Nigeria, Brazil, Georgia, Greece, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany, and China — to examine how AI is actually being governed, adopted, and contested inside real institutions.

Organized into five parts, the volume moves from global and regional regulatory frameworks, through AI adoption in public institutions and essential services, to its effects on organizational leadership and business innovation, closing with the ethical, environmental, and accountability obligations that responsible AI adoption demands.

Combining empirical studies, comparative policy analysis, and critical perspective chapters, this volume offers researchers, policymakers, and practitioners a wide-angle view of a technology being negotiated jurisdiction by jurisdiction, institution by institution, in real time.
