Abstract: Knowledge management (KM) has become well established in organization and management theory. In their enthusiastic quest in the field of knowledge management, organization theorists and information system developers however, mostly discussed knowledge management from one single perspective, overlooking the need to treating it from a multidisciplinary perspective, by means of relating it to different factors such as information technology (IT) and artificial intelligence (AI). This study aims to fill this gap. It seeks to examine the interrelationship between knowledge management, information technology and artificial intelligence. It argues that knowledge management is not just computer and information systems; it embodies organizational processes that seek to augment the creative, intelligent, and innovative capacity of human beings. Therefore, there are moral and ethical implications of artificial intelligences that need to be raised and discussed.

The theory says that developing countries mainly export labor intensive products while developed countries generally export capital intensive products.
