The contemporary global business environment is being simultaneously reshaped by two powerful forces: the deepening integration of cross- cultural teams and the rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI). This chapter examines the intersection of these trends, exploring the opportunities and challenges of managing culturally diverse, AI-augmented workforces. We argue that AI is not culturally neutral but, when guided by cultural competence, can strengthen global collaboration, decision- making, and inclusion. Conversely, if implemented without regard for cultural nuances, AI risks amplifying biases, eroding trust, and creating new forms of digital exclusion. This chapter begins by establishing the theoretical foundations of cross- cultural management and AI augmentation. A framework for culturallycompetent AI integration is proposed, focusing on managerial strategies and tool selection. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the social, ethical, and managerial implications, calling for a more inclusive and critically aware approach to AI-augmented workplaces.
