Buyer Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Environmental Governance and Supplier Environmental Controversies: An Organizational Information Processing and Signaling

The study investigates how exposure to buyers’ artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled environmental governance affects supplier environmental controversies. Using text analysis and panel data from 2,505 suppliers of U.S.-listed firms across 41 countries (2020‑2024), the authors find that such exposure is negatively associated with controversies in the following year. The effect is stronger in countries with higher AI readiness and regulatory quality.

The Governance Inversion Hypothesis: Why More AI Regulation May Produce Less Organisational Control

arXiv:2606. 26117v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper introduces the Governance Inversion Hypothesis (GIH) to explain a growing paradox in artificial intelligence (AI) governance: under conditions of increasing regulatory expansion and technological complexity, organisations may become more formally governed while simultaneously experiencing a decline in operational control over AI systems.

When the Algorithm Becomes the Brand Crisis: A Sociotechnical Theory of Distributed Responsibility and Accountable Transparency

The paper examines how responsibility is assigned when AI systems fail, proposing a sociotechnical theory that distinguishes between AI incidents, organisational crises, and scandals. It argues that the configuration of an incident shapes actor-specific attribution, which in turn influences perceptions of capability, integrity, fairness, and relationships, and that public moralisation can elevate an incident to scandal. The authors introduce ‘accountable transparency’—a response framework combining timely notice, intelligible accounts, role acknowledgement, remedy, evidence of correction, and recourse—as a way to manage blame, trust, and communication credibility.

AI and Consumer Rights in India Working Paper

As AI systems proliferate in consumer facing applications, questions about liability for AI related harms remain unresolved. This working paper examines whether India's Consumer Protection Act, 2019, adequately addresses harm caused by defective AI products and services, and whether it proportionately allocates liability across the AI value chain.
