A Conversation about Legitimizing Algorithmic Authority: AI Governance in Volatile Environments

Episode notes

This research examines the shift of artificial intelligence from a mere tool to a primary decision-making infrastructure that profoundly impacts human lives. The research argues that traditional ethical frameworks often fail because they incorrectly assume social and technical stability. Instead, the research proposes a leadership-centered model focused on Sensing, Stabilizing, and Legitimizing to maintain authority when environments become volatile. By reframing AI governance as a strategic necessity rather than a technical checklist, the work highlights the importance of procedural justice and accountability. Ultimately, the researcg asserts that organizations must build legitimacy infrastructure to ensure their automated systems remain trustworthy and socially acceptable.
