Abstract

This research aims to explore the anticipated social implications of artificial intelligence applications in the context of Oman. The study will analyze the potential impacts of AI on various aspects of social life, including the labor market, education, health, security, and privacy. The challenges and opportunities associated with these applications will also be reviewed, and a set of policies and measures will be proposed to enhance the benefits of AI and mitigate its risks.
