The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Strategic Decision-Making in Corporations

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in several parts of life. Artificial intelligence (AI) is when computers or machines are created to think and act like humans. With its data-driven insights, predictive analytics, and automation capabilities, artificial intelligence has changed company strategic decision-making. The latest trend is AI processors and smartphone apps. However, technology extends back to the 1950s, when the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence was established at Dartmouth College in the United States. The beginnings may be traced back to Alan Turing, who created the famous Turing test, Allen Newell, and Herbert A. Simon. In 1996, IBM's Deep Blue chess computer defeated Garry Kasparov, catapulting artificial intelligence to global prominence. This study looks at the history of AI and how AI influences strategic decision-making processes in businesses, since AI-powered solutions may reduce costs and uncertainty, increase efficiency, and provide a competitive edge. Also, this study identifies critical elements that drive AI adoption using case study analysis and empirical data from diverse sectors, including data accessibility, business culture, and regulatory compliance. The findings show that, while artificial intelligence significantly enhances both the speed and precision of decision-making, its usefulness requires balance, knowledge, and ethical governance. This study adds to the ongoing conversation about employing AI to guide strategy and make decisions, which is critical for practice advancement and beneficial to both business executives and lawmakers.
