We are on the cusp of a major breakthrough in how organizations collect, analyze, and act on knowledge. This article is part of an MIT SMR initiative exploring how technology is reshaping the practice of management. Editor's Note: This article is one of a special series of 14 commissioned essays MIT Sloan Management Review is publishing to celebrate the launch of our new Frontiers initiative. Each essay gives the author's response to this question: "Within the next five years, how will technology change the practice of management in a way we have not yet witnessed?" Artificial intelligence is about to transform management from an art into a combination of art and science.
