AI as a Value Transformer, Not an Employee: Placing AI in Organisational Value Flows

Organisations usually measure AI as a digital employee: tasks completed and headcount avoided. This paper shows, from Value Management Theory, why that frame measures AI where it looks strongest and hides rework and anti-value on the receiver side. It gives managers and AI programme leads a way to place AI as a transformer role in a value system, name it, draw it in a Value System Schema and measure it where its output is consumed.

The State as a System of Value Flows: A Value-Flow Theory of Governance and the Design of Axiacracy

Artificial intelligence weakens the link between labour and value on which taxation, welfare and GDP were built. This paper asks whether a state can instead be governed by sensing and rebalancing value flows across society. It sets out a value-flow theory of the state, a governing mechanism with explicit limits, the failure modes of that mechanism and a method for testing it, packaged from the Axiacracy research programme. It is a theory and a design under test: no simulation results are reported.
