the Algorithmic Life: Volume II: Work, Power, and Governance in Age of Artificial Intelligence

In The Algorithmic Life: Volume II, Deniz Karahan examines how artificial intelligence is restructuring labor markets, leadership, management, and institutional power.As AI systems move from tools to decision-makers, they are redefining knowledge work, project management, recruitment, intellectual property law, and corporate governance. This volume explores the rise of hybrid intelligence - where humans and machines collaborate - and the profound economic and ethical consequences that follow.This book explores: - How up to 30% of global work hours may be automated- The transformation of knowledge workers into AI orchestrators- Algorithmic management and the gig economy- Predictive analytics and AI-driven leadership- Intellectual property challenges in AI-generated invention- Human-AI collaboration models: co-pilot, delegative, advisory, amplificative- The need for a new social contract in the AI ageThis volume argues that the future of work is not about replacement, but redesign. The key question is not whether AI will transform labor - but whether that transformation will be governed in a way that preserves autonomy, fairness, and human dignity.Strategic, rigorous, and forward-looking, this book is indispensable for executives, entrepreneurs, regulators, and professionals navigating the algorithmic economy.
