Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is rapidly transforming education, employment, and decision-making, creating new opportunities for human development while raising concerns regarding ethics, autonomy, and social inclusion. This study investigates the relationship between Generative AI, human agency, and sustainable human development through the development and validation of the Human-AI Sustainable Development Framework (HASDF). Drawing upon Capability Theory, Human Capital Theory, Socio-Technical Systems Theory, Digital Transformation Theory, and Human Agency Theory, the research proposes an integrated framework for understanding how AI influences learning capability, employment adaptability, and decision quality.
A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving 2,000 participants from Zambia, Kenya, South Africa, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates. Quantitative data were collected through structured questionnaires, while qualitative insights were obtained through interviews, focus group discussions, and expert consultations.
