Abstract:

Artificial intelligence (AI) has already transformed the world and has made an effective impact in a range of fields. It has gained a wide interest to ground itself into business and commercial use and has transformative potential for private sector organizations through enabling increased productivity and novel ways to deliver different services. We have found out that in the private sector AI appears to be lagging, and the phenomena has really limited attention from academic research community. This paper outlines how AI technologies could help project managers to provide faster decision making in Project Management within the private sector. We were able to understand that most Project Managers had difficulties in applying AI in decision-making processes. Although, the majority perceive this technology as being useful and would use it for their daily tasks. Also, date was collected from different regions in KSA and primary research in which two of the biggest companies’ COs were interviewed and a survey was done by more than 100 persons including project managers and team leaders in which to give the conclusion that AI application improves data quality and integrity leading to improved speed and effectiveness of decision making within the private sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Additionally, this research seeks to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on AI- driven project management decision-making within the private sector in Saudi Arabia. By examining the benefits, challenges, and potential risks associated with AI implementation.
