AI as a Stakeholder for Project Management?
As AI continues to evolve and play increasingly vital roles in project management, it raises the question: should AI, even though a tool, be considered a key stakeholder? This provocative idea challenges the conventional perspective on stakeholder management, as we acknowledge AI’s learning capabilities and potential impact on project outcomes.
Admittedly, it is difficult to pinpoint the specific needs an AI system like ChatGPT would have in comparison to human stakeholders. However, its learning capabilities enable it to improve over time, becoming more efficient and accurate in its tasks. This autonomous evolution distinguishes AI from traditional project management tools.
Consider the Global Health case study, where ChatGPT’s continuous improvement in drafting email updates is evident. The more you use it, the more it learns to align with your style, making its responses more personalized and precise. This adaptability is an asset but requires the user to continually review AI’s performance and provide feedback, just as you would with any other team member.
Beyond AI-driven stakeholder engagement, we’re now entering a new era where AI is not only a tool but a potential partner and stakeholder. While this perspective is still in its infancy and we’ve yet to fully comprehend the ramifications, it raises thought-provoking questions about AI’s role in project management and its potential to shift our understanding of stakeholders.
