Role of Artificial Intelligence in Project Resource Management in Pakistan

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the developing function of AI in the field of project resource management (PRM) in Pakistan. It aims to fill in the blanks of what AI can provide to PRM and how it can help managers make better choices. Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently emerged as a disruptive force in a number of technical disciplines, posing new challenges to established norms in a wide range of businesses. This research focuses on the unique conditions of Pakistani PRM, where the possible effects of AI have not been well explored. We use a quantitative research approach to examine the difficulties project managers experience with resource management and the benefits AI may bring to their decision-making. The research methodology consisted of a survey sent out to 160 people, the vast majority of whom were experienced in project management. Younger age groups dominated the responder pool, highlighting the rising relevance of AI adoption among the younger generations. In addition, several of them came from backgrounds in project management or closely related fields. The results show that there is a link between PRM and the use of AI, however, it is not statistically significant. This raises the possibility of a correlation that needs to be tested with a bigger data set. We suggest that in future studies of AI's effect on Pakistani PRM, researchers think about using a larger sample size. This research highlights the dynamic nature of AI in PRM and the need for ongoing investigation and modification to realize its full potential.
