Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the epistemic, interactional, and institutional foundations of contemporary organizations. In this paper, the authors argue that treating “AI” as a single construct limits cumulative theorising and obscures critical differences between predictive, generative, agentic, and embodied systems. It also sets out a forward-looking research agenda addressing shifting loci of agency, evolving decision architectures, and the normative and institutional challenges introduced by increasingly powerful AI systems.
