Abstract: This paper presents the AI Enabled Individual Entrepreneurship Theory (AIET), a theoretical framework explaining how artificial intelligence technologies transform individual entrepreneurial capability. The theory identifies two foundational premises: knowledge democratization and resource requirements evolution. Through three core mechanisms skill augmentation, capital structure transformation, and risk profile modification AIET explains how individuals can now undertake entrepreneurial activities at scales previously requiring significant organizational infrastructure. The theory presents five testable propositions addressing the changing relationship between organizational size and competitive advantage, the expansion of individual entrepreneurial capacity, the transformation of market entry barriers, the evolution of traditional firm advantages, and the modification of entrepreneurial risk profiles. Boundary conditions related to task characteristics and market conditions define the theory's scope and applicability. The framework suggests significant implications for entrepreneurship theory, organizational design, and market structure as AI capabilities continue to advance. This theory provides a foundation for understanding the evolving landscape of entrepreneurship in an AI-enabled world.
