Abstract: The digital economy is growing fast. Really fast. Businesses are shifting online. Consumers too. Everything feels… digital now. Artificial Intelligence (AI) sits right in the middle of this transformation. Quietly. But powerfully. This paper explores the digital economy and how AI shapes it. It describes the concept. Then analyzes the impact. Some good. Some not so good. AI improves efficiency. Helps decision-making. Drives innovation. But there are concerns too. Job losses. Privacy issues. Ethical confusion. Still unresolved. This study also focuses on India. Because things are moving quickly here. Digital payments. Online services. Automation. Everything expanding. The findings show one thing clearly. AI is not just supporting the digital economy. It is pushing it forward. Hard. But careful implementation is necessary. Skills must improve. Policies must adapt. Otherwise, growth may become uneven.
