The AI-Executive Partnership: A New Paradigm for Decision-Making and Strategic Leadership

The involvement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in executive decision-making and strategic leadership has revolutionised organisational dynamics through greater efficiency and innovation. AI evolves rapidly as a general-purpose technology that necessitates interdisciplinarity to address ethical, social and policy issues. This paper elaborates on the contribution of AI towards making strategic decision- making stronger, building leadership capacities, and organisational performance. AI revolutionises traditional decision models through greater agility and corporate performance through data-driven intelligence. Hence, it is critical to harmonise AI capacities with leadership qualities to optimise strategic decision-making. AI makes managing uncertainty easier and enhances human-AI collaboration in decision-making. This research finds that effective AI integration produces innovation, improves decision-making quality and redefines digital-era competitiveness.
