Abstract

Through AI, companies in the digital economy can make better decisions, handle their operations more efficiently and build up their competitiveness. This paper explores the various ways AI impacts business strategies by linking information from data to common strategic guidance. It analyzes many industries by explaining how technology such as machine learning, natural language processing and robotics process automation shape strategy, market studies, customer interaction and new ideas. Important case studies demonstrate how AI is effectively utilised in business strategies, guiding companies seeking to succeed in the digital age. Matters involving ethics, data privacy and complicated system integration are included in these debates. The combination of scholarly sources and case studies in the study outlines the main strategy aspects of AI and recommends an approach for adopting it well in business strategy. According to the findings, AI improves a company’s ability to respond fast, but it has to fit into what the organization aims for and its environment if it is to succeed
