Abstract

In the ever-changing world where information technology takes center stage, using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and leadership transformation is paramount for achievements. This research, therefore, assesses the impact of transformational leadership on AI implementation in organizations in Saudi Arabia. A quantitative research approach was adopted in this study, and a survey method was used with 71 participants practicing leadership and holding digital positions in different fields. The research establishes a positive correlation between transformational leadership and the adoption of AI, which stresses the leadership’s role in promoting change. Furthermore, this research examines the role of technological advancement in moderating the above relationship, whereby technological advancement warrants changes in leadership approaches. This study adds to the available literature by providing insights into the relationship between leadership and AI within Saudi Arabian culture and economy. The results significantly contribute to practitioners and policymakers seeking to increase organizational leadership and AI effectiveness.
