Abstract	Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Predictive Analytics have emerged as transformative technologies that are fundamentally reshaping Business Intelligence (BI) and strategic decision-making across industries. By integrating machine learning, deep learning, big data analytics, cloud computing, natural language processing (NLP), Internet of Things (IoT), robotic process automation (RPA), and advanced visualization tools, organizations can convert massive volumes of structured and unstructured data into actionable insights. AI-powered Business Intelligence enables predictive forecasting, customer behavior analysis, demand prediction, financial risk assessment, fraud detection, supply chain optimization, and real-time decision support, thereby improving organizational agility, operational efficiency, and competitive advantage. Predictive analytics further empowers decision-makers by identifying hidden patterns, anticipating future trends, and supporting evidence-based strategic planning in rapidly changing business environments. This study investigates the integration of Artificial Intelligence and Predictive Analytics for Business Intelligence and strategic decision-making through a multidisciplinary perspective. Using a qualitative and analytical research methodology based on secondary data from business management, information systems, computer science, economics, finance, marketing, operations management, and digital transformation literature, the study examines AI-driven business intelligence architectures, predictive modeling techniques, implementation frameworks, industry applications, governance mechanisms, ethical considerations, challenges, and future research directions. Particular emphasis is placed on machine learning algorithms, data mining, cloud-based BI platforms, explainable AI (XAI), business dashboards, decision support systems, and intelligent enterprise analytics. The findings indicate that AI-driven predictive analytics significantly improves forecasting accuracy, strategic planning, customer engagement, operational performance, financial management, and organizational resilience while enabling faster, more informed, and data-driven decision-making. However, data quality issues, algorithmic bias, cybersecurity risks, privacy concerns, skills shortages, implementation costs, and governance challenges remain significant barriers to successful adoption. The study concludes that integrating AI, predictive analytics, ethical governance, and intelligent Business Intelligence platforms provides a comprehensive pathway toward sustainable digital transformation and competitive business innovation.
