Given the increasing autonomy and self-learning capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, and the way these developments challenge established perspectives on human and artificial (moral) -agency, this dissertation investigates how ethics can be understood in human–AI interaction and how such interactions can be managed ethically in organizational contexts. Based on a combination of systematic literature reviews and empirical investigations, it addresses two central research questions: How do human perceptions and the capabilities of both humans and AI influence ethical human–AI interaction? and How can we understand the ethical management of human–AI interaction? Drawing on the lens of sociomateriality, the dissertation integrates weak and strong notions of sociomaterial entanglement with normative ethical theories—primarily deontology, utilitarianism, and virtue ethics. In doing so, it offers a conceptualization that connects ethics with sociomateriality discourse in times of a changing nature of human–AI interaction. The work contributes to a deeper understanding of human and artificial (moral) agency in human–AI interaction and outlines pathways for the ethical management of human-AI interaction in organizations.
