The construct of calculated inefficiency is developed, defined as the structural property of a hybrid information system in which human interventions in automatable processes are maintained at levels above what pure efficiency optimisation would select, regardless of whether that maintenance was deliberately architected or emerged from other organisational sources.
Human oversight is widely held to mitigate the risks of AI systems. Even for systems that produce discrete outputs at identifiable decision points, the realisation of human oversight as a reactive measure is empirically fragile, yet increasingly well understood. However, for agentic AI -- systems that plan, decompose g...

The central ethical problem raised by artificial intelligence is not whether AI systems can "reason" in a functional sense, but whether their use preserves a centre of judgment that can be held responsible. Beginning with large language models, it distinguishes linguistic fluency from scientific validity, ethical commi...

The proliferation of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems autonomous, goal-directed agents capable of acting with minimal human oversight, has exposed fundamental inadequacies in existing civil liability frameworks. Traditional tort, product liability, and custodian regimes struggle to accommodate systems whose...
