Session 1 Details: Abstract from the speaker

Discourse about the disruptive potential of artificial intelligence for individuals, professions, and markets is proliferating. The fundamental changes underway at the societal level are also expected to profoundly impact and alter organizations, yet we are only just beginning to understand how artificial intelligence impacts the nature of the organization itself. We present the findings of an in-depth case study of a multinational industrial firm embarking on fundamental organizational change driven by the vision offered by artificial intelligence to become a more rationally intelligent ‘cognitive enterprise.’ We develop a model of AI-enabled organizational transformation explaining AI’s role in disrupting in an industrial firm, leading to its transformation and organizational reconstruction in the process of becoming a cognitive enterprise. We offer our model as a contribution to the burgeoning literature on AI in management as well as an invitation to management scholars to re-examine the behavioral theory of the firm.
