Abstract

This study aimed to examine the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in its various dimensions expert systems, neural networks, genetic algorithms, and intelligent agents on the performance of virtual teams. A descriptive analytical approach was employed, utilizing a questionnaire to collect data from a random sample of 69 employees at Al-Omair Construction Company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The results revealed variability in the degree of AI technology implementation at the company. However, the perceptions of respondents were generally positive, with an average score of 4.02. The actual performance of the virtual teams was also high, with a mean score of 4.15. The study showed a statistically significant impact of the combined AI dimensions on virtual team performance, with a correlation coefficient of 0.965 and a coefficient of determination of 0.931. This indicates that AI explains 93.1% of the variance in virtual team performance. The study recommends that Al-Omair Construction Company adopt AI as a tool for administrative development to gain a competitive advantage. Furthermore, the company should enhance virtual team management by focusing on improving communication, building trust among team members, fostering a culture of achievement, and establishing an organizational culture that supports smart applications to further improve virtual team performance
