The AI Trap in Politics: When Algorithms Perfect the Form, Who Still Answers for Decisions?

This case study analyzes the institutional authenticity crisis triggered by suspicions of AI-assisted drafting regarding state government programs. Beyond superficial public debates, this paper explores the systemic vulnerabilities associated with "blind delegation" within the formulation of public policies. Through the analytical lens of the Augmented Management™ framework, we evaluate the risks of critical thinking atrophy inside bureaucratic apparatuses, the macroeconomic impact of strategy homogenization, and the direct threats to European digital sovereignty caused by processing sovereign state data through external cloud infrastructures.

Abstract

This case study analyzes the institutional authenticity crisis triggered by suspicions of AI-assisted drafting regarding state government programs. Beyond superficial public debates, this paper explores the systemic vulnerabilities associated with "blind delegation" within the formulation of public policies. Through the analytical lens of the Augmented Management™ framework, we evaluate the risks of critical thinking atrophy inside bureaucratic apparatuses, the macroeconomic impact of strategy homogenization, and the direct threats to European digital sovereignty caused by processing sovereign state data through external cloud infrastructures.
