Abstract: The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into managerial decision-making processes has emerged as a transformative force in the digital era. This paper explores the multifaceted opportunities and challenges associated with AI adoption in strategic management. Through an extensive literature review, empirical analyses, and case studies, we examine how AI enhances decision-making efficiency, accuracy, and agility. Simultaneously, we delve into the ethical, organizational, and technical hurdles that accompany AI implementation. Our findings underscore the necessity for a balanced approach that synergizes AI capabilities with human judgment, ensuring ethical compliance and strategic alignment. The paper concludes with strategic recommendations for organizations aiming to harness AI's potential while mitigating associated risks.
