This book presents the trends of tech transformation and AI- readiness of emerging economies across regulatory, social, economic, and infrastructure layers. With the increased pace of urbanization, digital transformation, and proliferation of the algorithm economy, data and infrastructural readiness play vital roles in economic growth and development. By taking evidence (theoretical and empirical evidence) from selected emerging economies, this work intends to shed light on the developments and tech-readiness of these economies, focusing on AI solutions with the analysis of tech infrastructure and data readiness.

Besides, it provides an in-depth presentation of empirical evidence on tech transformation and best practices with the constructs for AI tech readiness of emerging economies at national and institutional levels. The studies presented in this edited book will help to bridge the gap in the scanty literature about data, infrastructure, and AI readiness of emerging economies by looking into the challenges and opportunities. Major topics covered include AI solutions in Organizational value creation, green economy, sustainability, positive AI risk monitoring as a tech opportunity, assessment, mitigation, (renewable) energy generation, management and utilization, education, security, healthcare system, and more.
