> I have recently stumbled across AI. Currently I am starting an EdD using Action Research. I have read that AI is an evolved form of AR that focuses on the positives within an organisation. I identify with this. I have also read that AI provides better grounds for theory building than AR.
> 
> Can someone enlighten me on the theory-building potential of AI. What processes or facets of AI assist with theory-building.
