The current paper provides a detailed evaluation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption in Georgia, identifying the opportunities and challenges within political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental contexts. We developed a novel theoretical framework to characterize AI stakeholders and used an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to investigate how AI influences macroeconomic indicators like high-technology exports. The findings indicate significant positive short-term and long-term impacts of R&D expenditure on high-technology exports, with ICT goods exports also contributing positively over time. In contrast, real GDP negatively affects these exports, suggesting the need for policy adjustments to support AI implementation. The study highlights the importance of strengthening policy frameworks and promoting digital education to enhance AI integration in Georgia’s digital strategy.
