Algorithmic Power and AI: A Philosophical Perspective

The article analyzes AI not as a technical tool, but as a cognitive infrastructure of the state that redefines the relationship between knowledge and power. The author refers to the concepts of Dennis Yi Tenen and classical political philosophy, pointing to the tension between the Platonic ideal of expert rule and Aristotelian democratic deliberation. The main problem is the risk of replacing political legitimacy and legal norms with the statistical prediction of AI models. The text warns against transforming the citizen into a data profile, which threatens individual agency in administrative processes. In the face of automated AI governance, it becomes crucial to maintain infrastructural pluralism and transparency in public decisions to avoid cognitive asymmetry and epistemic injustice.
