The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed the way historical data is interpreted, uncovering previously unseen trends and fundamentally altering modern management practices. This shift has significantly impacted the analysis of business history and leadership studies. However, there is still a notable gap in research regarding the effects of AI-driven reinterpretations of historical events on contemporary business strategies, leadership frameworks, and ethical considerations. This study aims to address this gap by exploring the methodologies and implications of AI in business history analysis, focusing on case studies of Walmart and JPMorgan Chase. Integrating foundational theories such as evolutionary theory, path dependency, transformational, and authentic leadership reveals how AI-driven insights can refine strategic planning, advance leadership development, and promote equitable management practices. It also highlights the ethical challenges in using AI for historical analysis, particularly the risks of perpetuating existing biases. Findings indicate that AI's capacity to analyze large volumes of historical data significantly reshapes our understanding of business evolution and leadership effectiveness. The study concludes with actionable recommendations for adopting ethical AI practices, outlining future research directions, including developing AI models for contextual analysis and exploring AI’s role in promoting diverse leadership models. This research advances academic discourse by providing a theory-driven framework for leveraging AI in business history and leadership studies. It underscores AI's transformative potential and complex implications for future business practices.

This study aims to empirically analyze the relationship between the motivational factors of generative AI users and the intention to continue using the service. Accordingly, the motives of users who use generative AI services are defined as individual, social, and technical motivation factors. This research verified the effect of these factors on intention to continue using the services and tested the meditating effect of trust and acceptance attitude. We tested this through verifying trust and acceptance attitudes. An online survey was conducted on language-based generative AI service users such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google Bard, Microsoft Bing, and Meta-Lama, and a structural equation analysis was conducted through a total of 356 surveys. As a result of the analysis, individual, social, and technical motivational factors all had a positive (+) effect on trust and acceptance attitude on the attitude toward accepting generative AI services. Among them, individual motivation such as self-efficacy, innovation orientation, and playful desire were found to have the greatest influence on the formation of the acceptance attitude. In addition, social factors were identified as the factors that have the greatest influence on trust in the use of generative AI services. When it comes to using generative AI, it was confirmed that social reputation or awareness directly affects the trust in usability.
... Jarrari et al. (2023) highlight potential AI application in different KM processes such as sifting through organizational data and discovering relationships in knowledge creation processes, harvesting, classifying, organizing, storing, and retrieving explicit knowledge in knowledge storing and retrieving, and promoting equitable access to knowledge without fear of reprisal or social cost in knowledge application. Other authors state that organizations ma adopt ChatGPT to store, transform, and distribute organizational data (Korzynski et al., 2023). However, we aim to take a different approach by showing how KM can contribute to AI applications. ...

As the diversity and complexity of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems increase, there is a growing need for advanced knowledge representation methods to enhance decision-making capabilities. Existing research indicates a gap between AI and Knowledge Management (KM), emphasizing the necessity of coordinating learning and knowledge creation processes between humans and machines. Despite the widespread use of generative AI, as seen through the growing popularity of conversational AI tools like chatbots powered by Large Language Models in recent years, the absence of a theoretical framework for effectively managing the knowledge they generate could mean missing out on significant opportunities. This work seeks to bridge this gap between KM and IA through an integrated framework that aims to apply KM to support IA chatbot applications, adapted from the Internet of Everything Integrated Knowledge Management Model (IoE IKM Model). The IoE IKM Model’s original goal is to support knowledge creation in IoE applications, but here, we show how it can be adapted to bring KM to the context of AI. We accomplish this by explaining the development process of the IoE IKM Model, identifying shared aspects between IoE and AI general applications, and adapting necessary elements to establish our integrated KM framework tailored for supporting AI chatbot applications. The resulting framework is then discussed, and examples of how it can be applied to enhance human interaction with a chatbot, namely Open AI's ChatGPT. Research has been conducted to demonstrate the advantages of applying AI in KM. However, we aim to take a different approach by showing how KM can contribute to AI applications. We expect this work to be helpful for those whose professional activities may involve the usage of AI systems by providing them with the necessary tools to manage the knowledge generated by these same AI systems and by offering a Knowledge Manager’s perspective on how to boost human-machine interaction.

This paper aims to develop a groundbreaking approach to fostering inclusive smart tourism destinations by integrating generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) with natural language processing (NLP) and the Internet of Things (IoT) into an intelligent platform that supports tourism decision making and travel planning in smart tourism destinations. The acquisition of this new technology was conducted using Agile methodology through requirements analysis, system architecture analysis and design, implementation, and user evaluation. The results revealed that the synergistic combination of these technologies was organized into three tiers. The system provides information, including place names, images, descriptive text, and an audio option for users to listen to the information, supporting tourists with disabilities. Employing advanced AI algorithms alongside NLP, developed systems capable of generating predictive analytics, personalized recommendations, and conducting real-time, multilingual communication with tourists. This system was implemented and evaluated in Suphan Buri and Ayutthaya, UNESCO World Heritage sites in Thailand, with 416 users participating. The results showed that system satisfaction was influenced by (1) the tourism experience, (2) tourism planning and during-trip factors (attention, interest, and usage), and (3) emotion. The relative Chi-square (χ2/df) of 1.154 indicated that the model was suitable. The Comparative Fit Index (CFI) was 0.990, the Goodness-of-Fit Index (GFI) was 0.965, and the model based on the research hypothesis was consistent with the empirical data. This paper contributions significant advancements in the field of smart tourism by demonstrating the integration of Gen AI, NLP, and the IoT and offering practical solutions and theoretical insights that enhance accessibility, personalization, and environmental sustainability in tourism.
