ABSTRACT. Despite the relevance of sustainable Industry 4.0, only limited research has been conducted on this topic. Using and replicating data from AlphaWise, CompTIA, Deloitte, Globant, McKinsey, Morgan Stanley, PAC, PwC, SME, and we.CONECT, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding the link between artificial intelligence-based decision-making algorithms, automated production systems, and big data-driven innovation. The results of a study based on data collected from 5,300 respondents provide support for our research model. Using the structural equation modeling, we gathered and analyzed data through a self-administrated questionnaire.
