Artificial Intelligence in Project Management: A Systematic Literature Review in the Context of Industry 5.0

This paper presents a systematic literature review on the integration of Artificial Intelligence in Project Management within the Industry 5.0 transition. Following the PRISMA protocol, a dual-query search on Scopus yielded a final corpus of 64 peer-reviewed articles. Bibliometric analysis reveals accelerating scientific production, with 87.5% of the corpus published between 2023 and 2026. Content analysis across four thematic dimensions confirms that AI functions as an augmenting rather than substitutive technology in PM. Key gaps include the tacit-explicit knowledge dichotomy, accountability deficits in AI-assisted decision-making, and the limited transferability of existing tools to diverse organizational contexts. These findings frame a research agenda for human-centered AI adoption in project-oriented organizations.
