AI and business model innovation : leveraging the AI feedback loop

Purpose: The article analyzes the effects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Business Model Innovation (BMI), focusing on the platform business model. Design/Methodology/Approach: Proposes a CLD (Causal Loop Diagram) model and analyzes the model to discuss insights about the structure and performance of the business model.Findings: Shows that AI enables key strategic feedback loops that constitute the core structure of the business model.Practical Implications: Managers and entrepreneurs who seek to leverage AI should invest in the AI feedback loops. An AI strategy for BMI should seek to create, strengthen, and speed-up AI feedback loops in the business model.Originality/Value: Analyzes the effects of AI on BMI while accounting for dynamic complexity as a business model property to be understood and leveraged. Contributes to our understanding of the business value and impact of AI.
