“…AI‐enabled drone worksite audit has multiple benefits; first, using AI‐enabled drone for process audit is cost‐effective as it reduces operating and maintenance expenses (Chen et al, 2021; Qasim et al, 2023; Singh et al, 2020). Second, it helps monitor real‐time operations, check missing products, and provide better surveillance (Azeem et al, 2022; Fehling & Saraceni, 2023; Grabowska et al, 2020). Third, drones are an environment‐friendly alternative to other process audit mechanisms (Cropley, 2020).…”

The objective of this study is to explore the enablers and inhibitors of AI‐enabled drone adoption for manufacturing process audit using a mixed‐method design. A qualitative study was performed to explore the enablers and inhibitors. Further, based on the findings of the qualitative studies, a framework was proposed, and proposed hypotheses were examined using a survey‐based study. The results indicated that function, environmental, and epistemic values are major enablers, whereas vulnerability and sunk cost barriers are major inhibitors to adoption intention. The initial trust and inertia were crucial mediators, and organizations' technological innovativeness played a crucial moderating role. This study enriches the literature on technological adoption for sustainability and helps audit service providers design strategies to enhance AI‐enabled drone adoption for process audits.

“…Hence, Indian manufacturing firms are keen to know the benefit‐risks trade‐off associated with AI‐enabled drone adoption for process audit. However, existing studies remained focused on the benefits of using drones at workstations (Fehling & Saraceni, 2023; Kim et al, 2021; Khalil et al, 2022; Maghazei & Netland, 2019).…”
