The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and escalating ecological pressures necessitates a foundational shift in the role and purpose of capitalism. Traditional shareholder-driven models, which prioritize short-term profit maximization, are increasingly seen as inadequate in a world defined by global climate risks, resource depletion, and profound social inequality. In response, conscious capitalism has emerged as an alternative organizing principle, reframing corporate purpose to balance financial returns with long-term social and environmental value. This approach explicitly broadens the scope of fiduciary duty to include a diverse range of stakeholders—employees, communities, and the planet—rather than solely maximizing shareholder wealth (Conscious Capitalism, Inc., 2023).
