Abstract

This chapter explores integrating digital and AI ethics into undergraduate general education as a vital approach for cultivating sustainable entrepreneurial mindsets. As AI and digital technologies reshape the entrepreneurial landscape, ethical concerns such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and environmental sustainability must be addressed to ensure responsible innovation. By embedding ethical principles into entrepreneurship education, universities can guide students to develop ventures aligned with global frameworks like the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The chapter discusses the role of universities in shaping future business leaders, the challenges and opportunities of embedding ethics in education, and best practices for fostering ethical entrepreneurship. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, experiential learning, and established ethical frameworks, universitiescan prepare students to balance innovation with social and environmental responsibility, creating ventures that contribute positively to society and sustainable development.
