Abstract
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the landscape of digital transformation projects. Organisations must adapt to the evolving capabilities of AI-driven systems to remain competitive and agile in a dynamic business environment. This paper explores the impact of AI on digital transformation project management, focusing on key challenges, opportunities, and strategies for successful implementation. AI influences project management by enhancing decision-making, optimizing resource allocation, and automating routine tasks. It enables predictive analytics, real-time risk assessment, and intelligent automation, allowing project managers to make data-driven decisions with greater accuracy. However, the integration of AI introduces challenges, including ethical concerns, data privacy issues, and the need for upskilling human resources. This study highlights essential competencies for managing AIdriven digital transformation projects, including AI literacy, ethical AI governance, human-AI collaboration, and agile adaptation to AI-induced changes. Organisations must foster a culture of continuous learning and cross-disciplinary collaboration to maximize the benefits of AI. The paper concludes with recommendations for project managers to successfully navigate AI-driven transformations. These include leveraging AI for strategic decision-making, implementing robust risk management frameworks, and fostering a human-centric approach to AI adoption. By addressing these factors, organisations can enhance their digital transformation initiatives and achieve sustainable competitive advantages in the AI era.
