Financial Literacy in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

This volume provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary exploration of financial literacy, highlighting its pivotal role in addressing modern global challenges. By examining the intersection of financial literacy with sustainability, education, technological advancements—particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI)—entrepreneurship, and philanthropy, the book demonstrates how financial knowledge is essential for personal financial well-being and broader societal and environmental sustainability. Featuring contributions by professionals and academics from a diverse selection of international institutes and organizations, the chapters focus on practical, often underexplored areas of financial literacy. These include the role of charitable organizations in fostering basic financial education, particularly in underserved communities, and how primitive or foundational financial literacy plays a critical role in poverty alleviation. The book also discusses specialized topics such as Islamic finance and behavioral finance, broadening the scope of financial literacy beyond traditional paradigms to include culturally diverse and ethically driven financial systems. By addressing less frequently discussed topics alongside cutting-edge advancements in AI and finance, this work offers a holistic view of financial literacy as both a personal asset and a driver of positive societal transformation. As such, it is suitable for academics and professionals interested in financial literacy, fintech, ethics, and sustainability.
