The Decision Path: From the Illusion of Neutrality to Structural Governance
Overview
This article reveals how AI neutrality is a temporary illusion that dissolves with continuous use, creating an invisible “decision path” within organisations. It shows how recurring recommendations, automated prioritisation, and subtle framing begin to shape decisions before they are formally made — and why structural governance, rather than more prompts, is required to preserve decisional integrity.
🛤️ The Path That Forms on Its Own
How repeated patterns of use create invisible decision paths — without anyone explicitly designing or declaring them.
⚖️ Neutrality Is Temporary
AI is only neutral while usage remains episodic. With continuous integration, it stops merely informing and begins structuring the decision space.
🧭 Governance vs. Improvisation
Adjusting prompts is sophisticated improvisation. Governance means making criteria and limits explicit before the system begins deciding by default.
