Abstract

This study investigates the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on women’s empowerment, addressing the pressing problem of gender inequality in various sectors. With the rapid advancement of AI technologies, understanding their role in enhancing women's access to education, safety, and leadership opportunities has become essential. The primary purpose of this research is to explore the perceptions of female students at an online women’s university regarding AI's potential benefits and challenges in promoting empowerment. Employing a quantitative research methodology, a structured questionnaire was distributed to 160 female participants across various faculties. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, revealing significant insights into the participants' attitudes towards AI. The results indicate a generally positive perception of AI, with many participants recognizing its potential to improve educational opportunities, enhance online safety, and support women's leadership in technology. However, there are notable concerns regarding the accessibility and implementation of AI, suggesting the existence of barriers that may hinder its effectiveness. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of addressing these barriers to maximize AI’s benefits for women. By fostering an inclusive approach to AI development and deployment, stakeholders can create an environment that empowers women, thereby contributing to the overall goal of gender equality in the digital age.

Abstract

The study explores the obstacles to entrepreneurship that young Afghans face in the context of the nation's political and socioeconomic conditions. It looks at how important social media is to helping young people overcome these obstacles and become economically independent. Using a mixed-methods approach, it aims to comprehend the viewpoints, experiences, and variables influencing the use of social media among Afghan youth entrepreneurs by combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with 160 participants. The majority of participants (75%) are male, and 62.5% have an economic background. Most of them are in the 25–30 age range. Targeted solutions are critically needed as financial and infrastructural limitations severely hinder entrepreneurial endeavours. Although social media can be used to expand a market and engage customers, perspectives on its effects are divided. The impact of digital literacy and prior entrepreneurial experience on self-assurance in leveraging social media as an entrepreneurial tactic is highlighted by regression analysis. These results highlight the need for customised interventions to improve digital literacy and bridge infrastructure gaps in order to fully utilise social media's potential to support Afghan youth's entrepreneurship. The present study enhances the conversation on young entrepreneurship and social media in developing countries by providing significant perspectives to policymakers, practitioners, and scholars who seek to support entrepreneurial ecosystems in Afghanistan and comparable settings.
