Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Machines have emerged as intelligent players and are set to replace skilled practitioners in various fields. So, what would be a leader's contribution be if machines do the decision making? The chapter addresses this question by proposing that artificial intelligence will act as a catalyst enabling managers and leaders in the process of knowledge management. Further, the chapter aims to bring together the three constructs of leadership, artificial intelligence, and knowledge management and try to theoretically establish a relationship among them. The work is immensely relevant to the Indian context given the fact that at its current stage of development, artificial intelligence has the potential to add $957 billion to the country's economy by 2035. Thus, the chapter will emphasize the relationship between leadership and artificial intelligence and how it supports knowledge management in organizations and influences its everyday decision making.
