Abstract
In this chapter, we consider projects in which enterprise service systems are developed using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. When developing a system using AI technologies to support a business task in a company, all project members from both business and IT divisions must have a common understanding of the project to ensure success. Therefore, we propose an enterprise architecture-based business–IT alignment model for AI service systems as a generic business–AI alignment model and a business analysis method for constructing project specific models from the generic model. We evaluated the proposed model and business analysis method through a practice.
