The Aczel-Alsina t-norm and t-conorm were derived by Aczel and Alsina in 1982. They are modified forms of the algebraic t-norm and t-conorm. Furthermore, the theory of picture fuzzy values is a very valuable and appropriate technique for describing awkward and unreliable information in a real-life scenario. In this research, we analyze the theory of averaging and geometric aggregation operators (AOs) in the presence of the Aczel-Alsina operational laws and prioritization degree based on picture fuzzy (PF) information, such as the prioritized PF Aczel-Alsina average operator and prioritized PF Aczel-Alsina geometric operator. Moreover, we examine properties such as idempotency, monotonicity and boundedness for the derived operators and also evaluated some important results. Furthermore, we use the derived operators to create a system for controlling the multi-attribute decision-making problem using PF information. To show the approach's effectiveness and the developed operators' validity, a numerical example is given. Also, a comparative analysis is presented.
