Introduction

In the current context of the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in society, the first article entitled “For a human management of artificial intelligence: an introduction from ethics and governance”, presents a multidisciplinary perspective on the use and management of this technology. Exploring the definition of AI from different disciplines such as computer science, psychology and philosophy. Likewise, an attempt was made to explain how it is currently integrated into the world of work, highlighting both its advantages and the associated psychological, social and ethical risks. The article delved into fundamental notions such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning, and reflected on the impact of AI on understanding the human mind, decision-making, and creativity.

The text also addressed the psychological reactions AI generates among employees and employers, such as anxiety, fear, frustration, and a sense of loss of control, especially in the face of task automation. It also analysed cognitive and algorithmic biases, which can distort results and lead to discrimination.

The text also incorporated an ethical perspective, underlining the need for responsible governance that guarantees transparency, data protection and respect for human rights. He also analysed the regulatory framework proposed by the European Union to promote a safe and equitable use of AI. From this, the idea that this technology represents an opportunity to transform the world of work, provided its implementation is based on solid ethical principles that enable conscious management of its human implications.

In relation to the above, this paper analyses how AI influences power relations within organisations, examining both the opportunities it offers to reduce skills gaps, the dynamics of decision-making, and the risks of amplifying existing inequalities.

In coherence with this analysis, the work is inscribed in a historical, conceptual and practical perspective, examining the forms of power that emerge from the interaction between humans and intelligent systems, as well as the social, political and legal implications of this transformation. In this same sense, the objective is to offer a critical reflection on the role of AI in organisational management and in the construction of a more inclusive and sustainable professional future.
