A 10,977-word review synthesizing 32 studies across entrepreneurship theory, cognitive psychology, behavioural economics, and human-AI interaction, following PRISMA 2020 methodology against a screened pool of 337 candidate records.

It proposes an original framework, AICE (AI-Influenced Cognitive Entrepreneurship), mapping how AI decision-support tools interact with entrepreneurial reasoning across the ideation, launch, and scaling stages of a venture, and generates six testable propositions for future empirical work.

Written under the academic guidance of Dr. Mohamed Watfa.
