Abstract

The study aims to study the actual use of the AI (Artificial intelligence) among small businesses in Saudi Arabia, and the effect of this use and the knowledge on the advanced entrepreneurship in these businesses. The actual use and knowledge were measured, along with the effect of these variables on the advanced entrepreneurship. The sample chosen was 204 small businesses and startups from three main cities in KSA. The sample was mostly of technology related businesses 45%, and others as of service related and manufacturing simple products. The results show a lack of both the actual use of AI technology and knowledge of this technology. The results also show this lack is affecting the entrepreneurship of theses business and their abilities to grow with a sense of creativity in the local market. The research demonstrates the need for AI technology to strength the entrepreneurship among small business in Saudi Arabia. The research results close a gap in the available literature of small business use of technology and demonstrating advanced entrepreneurship in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Further research is needed to understand the reasons of the lack of the use of AI among these businesses in Saudi Arabia.

人工智能的使用和知识对沙特小型企业和初创企业高级创业的影响

该研究旨在研究沙特阿拉伯小型企业对AI(人工智能)的实际使用情况，以及这种使用和知识对这些企业高级创业的影响。测量了实际使用和知识，以及这些变量对高级企业家精神的影响。选择的样本是来自沙特阿拉伯三个主要城市的204家小企业和初创企业。样本主要是与技术相关的企业，占45%，其他则是与服务相关和制造简单产品的企业。结果显示，人工智能技术的实际使用和对该技术的了解都不足。研究结果还表明，这种缺乏正在影响这些企业的创业精神，以及它们在当地市场上以创新意识成长的能力。该研究表明，需要人工智能技术来加强沙特阿拉伯小企业的创业精神。研究结果填补了现有文献中关于小型企业利用技术和展示沙特阿拉伯王国先进创业精神的空白。需要进一步的研究来了解沙特阿拉伯这些企业缺乏使用人工智能的原因。
