"Artificial Intelligence in Organizations: New Opportunities for Phenomenon-Based Theorizing"

by von Krogh, Georg (2018)

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly emerging phenomenon of economic and organizational significance. The article offers a brief introduction to AI in organizations and proposes that the functioning of these systems relevant to organizations, entails task input (data: sound, text, images, and numbers), task processes (algorithms), and task outputs (solutions and decisions). By considering such functions in organizations, new research opportunities emerge in the areas of decision-making and problem-solving.

Key Passage

By gradually uncovering AI as a fundamentally organisational phenomenon, we may distringuish and offer tentative explanations of the emergence and interaction of human and machine authority regimes in organisations. (p.406)
