        abstract = {Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology influencing sectors such as healthcare, education, governance, and scientific research. This paper presents a systematic review and conceptual analysis of AI, focusing on its opportunities, challenges, and broader societal impacts. Using secondary data from peer-reviewed journals, policy reports, and bibliometric studies, the research synthesizes current trends in AI adoption and evaluates its implications on efficiency, ethics, and equity. The findings indicate that while AI enhances productivity, decision-making accuracy, and innovation, it also introduces critical concerns including algorithmic bias, lack of transparency, data privacy risks, and unequal access to technological resources. The study highlights the need for robust governance frameworks, ethical standardization, and inclusive policies to ensure responsible AI deployment. The paper contributes by integrating technical, ethical, and policy perspectives into a unified framework for understanding AI’s impact.},
