The study results showed that, the majority (80.7% & 84.2%) of first-line managers had high perception level toward artificial intelligence technology, and high decision-making abilities levels, respectively. Also, less than one fifth (15.8%) of them had moderate perception level of artificial intelligence technology, and moderate decision-making abilities levels. The study concluded that, there was a highly statistically significant positive correlation between total artificial intelligence technology and total decision-making abilities as perceived by first-line managers.
