Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has a significant impact on various disciplines, fields, sectors, and industries. Companies, firms, sectors, and enterprises are investing billions of US dollars in AI to make better decisions and for competitive advantages. To date, few studies have provided a comprehensive, holistic insight into how AI impacts a wide range of disciplines and sectors simultaneously. To address this limitation, we conducted a study that draws on stakeholder theory. Our research models and frameworks offer insights into how various disciplines and sectors - including healthcare, finance, education, business, retail, and law - can effectively implement a wide range of AI systems and platforms to improve decision-making and gain a competitive advantage. Our study provides insights into how various disciplines, fields, sectors, and industries should adapt to the rapid, constant changes in AI. In addition, our study has numerous implications for both research and management.

Keywords: stakeholder theory; artificial intelligence; disciplines; industries; fields; sectors.
