Leveraging AI-Driven Accounting for Sustainable Safety of Critical Infrastructure Projects

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly optimizing and revolutionizing various spheres of life. Its presence in and impact on accounting and project management is well known. This study avers that AI-driven accounting optimizes and revolutionizes the sustainable safety of critical infrastructure projects. To prove this stance, data are drawn from survey questionnaire, observation, introspection, and library and internet print materials for evidence. Survey design and mixed method alongside their associated plausible descriptive and statistical tools are employed. The results of the analysis show majority of the respondents, and extant studies confirming that AI-driven accounting allows for the integration of the cutting edge technologies into accounting activities; efficient scenario planning and supportive decision-making; automated and optimized sustainability metrics and reporting; predictive analysis and automated management of risks; and transparent stakeholder engagement; improved analysis and reporting of data; automation of regulation and reporting. The study concludes that AI-driven accounting increases the contributions of accounting to the sustainable safety of critical infrastructure projects to a large extent. Stakeholders are charged to ensure increased adoption of AI techniques for accounting and project management, towards attaining sustainable safety of critical infrastructure projects.
