Abstract
The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by organisations for their digital transformation (DT) initiatives is a promising area with persistent challenges. There has been no synthesis of empirical findings to identify critical factors associated with AI-based DT. Different studies from various theoretical perspectives have been conducted to study how organisations can take potential advantage of AI through their DT journeys. The current research aims to provide a systematic review of empirical studies to investigate how AI can be managed within DT. Findings from the reviewed studies were used to develop a model for managing AI-based DT. The developed model provides insights into enabler factors required for the utilisation of AI within DT, strategies that organisations should adopt to be transformed digitally based on AI competencies, and potential outcomes of AI-based DT.
