Abstract
The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has created new opportunities for youth to engage in digital entrepreneurship and generate economic income in innovative ways. However, the use of AI in business without adequate understanding of legal aspects may expose youth to legal risks, particularly in relation to copyright, liability, and digital marketing. Accordingly, this study aims to analyse the need for legal literacy among youth involved in AI-based entrepreneurship and to examine the importance of innovation governance as a mechanism for youth economic empowerment.
