Artificial Intelligence Project Success Factors: Moral Decision-Making with Algorithms

Abstract

The algorithms implemented through artificial intelligence (AI) and big data projects are used in life-anddeath situations. While research exists to address varying aspects of moral decision-making with algorithms, the definition of project success is not readily available. Nevertheless, researchers place the burden of responsibility for ethical decisions from AI systems on the system developers. Using a systematic literature review, this research identified 71 AI project success factors in 14 groups related to moral decision-making with algorithms. It contributes to project management literature, specifically for AI projects. Project managers and sponsors can use the results during project planning and execution.
