    Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) represent general purpose technologies that are rapidly diffusing among businesses. These technologies have the potential to transform industries and to impact the performance of firms. They also present important challenges for managers. Firms investing in general purpose technologies like AI require complements to realize value from them and to align with unique firm needs. In this symposium we bring together four papers that examine various aspects of the diffusion of impact of AI and ML in businesses and how these are affected by the presence of complements at the individual, organizational, and ecosystem level. Together these papers will shed new light on the implications of managerial decisions related to this important set of technologies.
