  The rise of AI has reshaped outsourcing and work arrangements in global businesses, transforming how businesses operate and allocate tasks across borders. The use of AI in automation and intelligent workflow management, which enables companies to streamline operations, reduces costs and enhances productivity. While outsourcing has long been a strategy for optimizing labor costs and accessing specialized talent, AI further revolutionizes this landscape by automating routine tasks and augmenting human capabilities. Further exploration may reveal new applications of intelligent technology in the global workforce.

Global Work Arrangements and Outsourcing in the Age of AI explores the transformations of global business and workplace environments. It delves into the roles of technology, environmental considerations, mental health, regulatory frameworks, and corporate social responsibility in shaping the future of work, providing an understanding on how work models can adapt to meet development goals. This book covers topics such as resource AI, global development, and sustainability, and is a useful resource for academics, policymakers, business owners, and environmental scientists.
