Abstract

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to reshape the IT project management field, ethical and legal issues are emerging as increasingly important. AI-powered tools boost productivity via automation, predictive analytics, and decision support; simultaneously, they also introduce risks associated with bias, data privacy, and governance. AI-powered biases in project management algorithms can result in unequal distribution of resources, discriminatory decision-making, and unforeseen outcomes. In addition, AI's reliance on vast volumes of data raises privacy concerns, particularly in complying with global data protection laws such as GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA. Governance frameworks are needed to render AI transparent, responsible, and ethically applied in IT project management. This article explores the possible risks of artificial intelligence in managing projects, examines the existing legal frameworks, and provides recommendations on how to mitigate biases embedded in AI, protect data privacy, and institute effective governance of AI. By addressing these issues, organizations can ethically leverage the power of AI while maintaining compliance and fostering trust in information technology project management processes.
