Artificial Intelligence as a branch of computer sciences is gaining increasing importance given the possibility to enable human capabilities such as understanding, reasoning, planning, communicating and perceiving to be undertaken by software effectively, efficiently and at a low cost. In terms of project management, this could help with automating and streamlining many repetitive tasks, both in project planning, monitoring and controlling, such as detecting project risks early, prioritizing tasks, matching resources etc., as well as performing predictive planning estimations and developing realistic and updated recovery plans. This would allow project manager and project team to focus more on high value-added tasks and effective team management.
IPMA Artificial Intelligence (AI) Special Interest Group members are dedicated to sharing expertise, experience and lessons learned in advancing AI solutions, as well as producing solutions that will enhance project implementations.

There are numerous benefits that project managers draw from the use of Artificial intelligence (AI). First, AI provides support to project managers. This is because it eases the burden and pressure of project management through application of machines. AI is also helpful in providing project managers with accuracy of results since the tasks performed using AI do not have mistakes and errors.
In addition, use of AI helps project managers with insight and strategizing. For example, an AI tool is able to suggest alternative or additional steps to project managers who are handling very difficult projects.
AI has already been used frequently in our daily lives. Some of them can be listed as Netflix, Spotify, and Siri. AI has already been changing industries ranging from finance to healthcare.
