AI Is Taking Over Corporate Decisions — Humans May Keep Authority but Lose Control
uxmag · x · 2026-11-05
A long-form piece in UX Magazine by James Rawson, Chief Legal Officer at EV, examines how "machine governance" strains corporate law:
- For generations, corporate law's underlying premise has been that a corporation's decisions, intentions, and liabilities can ultimately be attributed to human cognition, though attribution mechanisms vary across jurisdictions
- As AI takes over corporate decision-making, humans may retain legal authority without real control
The article asks whether traditional concepts of accountability and control remain conceptually stable when decisions are increasingly machine-mediated — and whether corporate law can still hold anyone meaningfully responsible.
