AI has the potential to transform organizational decision making. Building on a seminal organizational theory that conceptualizes organizations as interpretation systems, the progressive replacement of humans by AI is theorized. This replacement involves performing organization’s fundamental activities underpinning the processes of scanning, interpretation, and learning that encompass an organization’s interaction with its environment. As a result, organizations cease to be human interpretation systems, and instead turn into digital enactment systems where digital technologies, instead of humans, nearly autonomously create and act upon information. This transformation redefines the relationship among organizations, information, and environment, changing the role of humans, and reshaping strategy making. Thus conceived, AI transforms organizational decision making and consequently the nature of organizations and organizing in the digital age.
