As Artificial Intelligence (AI) increasingly shapes corporate strategic frameworks, its significance in enhancing organizational performance during mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is becoming paramount. This research examines the dynamic relationship among AI, sustainability, and life skills, focusing on the influence of human behavior on M&A outcomes. Although AI offers methodologies to assess and predict behavioral trends, the usefulness of these initiatives is primarily dependent upon human elements like leadership ability, cultural differences, and employee integration. The study explains how AI can improve obstacles like resistance to change and cultural discord, which are widespread in M&A activities. Furthermore, incorporating life skills—encompassing adaptability, emotional intelligence, and collaborative problem-solving—is critical for harmonizing AI initiatives with sustainable business methodologies. By integrating AI-generated insights with a focus on human behavioral dynamics, organizations can attain more resilient and sustainable results in M&A endeavors.
