Norms and Normative Expectations in Algorithmic Decision-Support Systems

This project examines the role of social norms in the use and acceptance of algorithmic decision support systems (ADSS) in the workplace. It addresses concerns about fairness and authority in algorithmic systems, recognizing that these technologies are embedded in sociocultural contexts. Focusing on employer-employee relationships, we will study normative expectations through surveys of both employees and employers, investigating how these norms influence reactions to ADSS. Additionally, we will explore how normative structures within organizations moderate ADSS acceptance. By integrating insights from computer science and social sciences, our framework aims to enhance understanding of the impact and acceptance of AI-driven decision systems.
