Objective: To present the AI-Based Leadership Method, a novel method for integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Business Management practices, based on the experience of data scientists in large data-driven organizations.
Methodology: Qualitative, using Actor-Network Theory (ANT) as the theoretical-methodological approach.
Originality: The proposed method fills a theoretical gap in the management literature, offering a systematic approach to the symbiotic integration of AI into leadership and management practices.
Main results: Description of a methodology that encompasses the definition of collaborative contexts, the formation of symbiotic teams, the synchronization of knowledge, the automation of supervision, the optimization of decision-making through hybrid committees, and the promotion of a continuous feedback cycle.
Theoretical/methodological contributions: The proposed method offers a future-oriented perspective on promoting a productive partnership between humans and artificial intelligence in the workplace, highlighting the importance of balanced integration of AI into management activities.
