Artificial Intelligence in the Boardroom: Enabling 'Machines' to 'Learn' to Make Strategic Business Decisions

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has recently ventured from its academic ivory tower to the commercial world, and the consequences have raised interest in academia and industry alike. This paper explores the use of AI technologies in making strategic decisions in organizations by training AI systems to be a contributing member of the organizations' board of C-level members. The contribution of this paper is that it proposes a new AI-enabled strategic decision making model, based on a synthesis of the literature on AI and strategic decision making. The paper also presents an opportunity to empirically test this new model using diverse case studies.
