It gives me immense pleasure to present this book, titled "Artificial Intelligence: SocioEconomic Impact," which captures the insightful discussions and research contributions shared during the ICSSR-sponsored National Seminar held on March 11, 2025. This book brings together the viewpoints of experts, researchers, and practitioners on the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in reshaping socio-economic landscapes. The contributions in this book provide diverse insights into AI’s role in driving innovation, enhancing decision-making and addressing socio-economic challenges. The edited volume highlights the importance of strategically integrating AI into various sectors, including education, healthcare, governance, and industry, to promote sustainable growth and societal
well-being. I believe that the perspectives and recommendations presented here will serve as a valuable resource for educators, industry professionals, researchers, and policymakers striving to build an AI-driven future that is both ethical and inclusive.
