“…Yet we find these definitions insufficient for understanding AI agency. Artificially intelligent entities can exercise agency through their performativity, that is, by doing things that are outside the control of users or other artificial or human agents and when agents' actions materialise through their intentionality and reflexivity, objectives can be achieved (Muñoz & Encinar, 2014). The more AI gains autonomy and agency, the more it will be responsible for its own development (Armstrong, 2017;Turchin & Denkenberger, 2020).…”

Artificial intelligence is a central technology underpinning the fourth industrial revolution, driving dramatic changes in contemporary cyber-physical systems and challenging existing ways of theorising organisations and management. AI agency and the rise of the artificially intelligent agent are both fundamentally different and yet increasingly similar to human agency in terms of intentionality and reflexivity. As 'Child AI' emerges-AI that is created by other AI-the early human design and interaction becomes increasingly distant and removed. These developments, while seemingly futuristic, change the human-technology interface through which we organise. In this essay, we explore understandings of AI agency, capability, and governance, and present implications for organisatonal theorising in sociomateriality, actor-network theory, institutional theory and the behavioral theory of the firm. We contribute to a growing and reflexive research agenda that can accommodate and regenerate theorising around this significant technological advancement.

Purpose This study aims to explore the degree of diversity and coherence of the components of an entrepreneurial ecosystem at the micro, meso and macro levels in Central Sabana Province in Colombia to establish the strengths and opportunities for improvement of the mentioned ecosystem. Design/methodology/approach This study uses cross-sectional analysis of multiple cases. Findings The entrepreneurial ecosystem under study can be categorized as an imbalanced system due to the great diversity it presents in terms of its actors, resources and support programs. Regarding coherence, the ecosystem has not achieved a common objective regarding entrepreneurial processes or the recognition of the strengths of its actors and the specific needs of the entrepreneurs. Practical and social implications The study of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in a particular region has allowed the identification of the strengths of the ecosystem; the establishment of the degree of alignment of actors, resources and programs in the region; the identification of the preference of support and programs for certain types of enterprises with low economic and social impacts; and the characterization of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the province as self-organized but in need of institutional leadership that supports the effort required for the consolidation of the ecosystem. Originality/value Unlike traditional approaches in this field of study, this paper approaches a regional entrepreneurial ecosystem from a qualitative perspective through eight categories of analysis grouped into three levels of study: macro, meso and micro, exploring the degree of diversity and coherence of the actors and their interactions in the ecosystem.

“…Additionally, the "global" state of the system (the economy) is also the outcome of the intentional action loaded with the expectations of the agents. This state is something that agents are producing and, for this reason, it is not a mere "external" or "objective" reality, but the effective reality that agents are producing from their subjectivity (Muñoz and Encinar 2014b).…”

Together with the concepts of equilibrium, scarcity, choosing, etc., efficiency is at the core of economics. However, in an evolutionary context, efficiency raises several issues concerning to rationality, the complex evolving nature of the economy, economic change as the fundamental economic problem, and the role of expectations -that link purposeful action to actual action. The main goal of this paper is to provide some necessary elements to accommodate an efficiency criterion within an evolutionary theory of the production of action. In a nutshell, an evolving complex system could be considered as being (or "becoming") efficient if the agents' intentions could "materialize" in actions that would give rise to real states of affairs which, essentially, were compatible (even similar; never identical of course) with what it was expected (ex-ante) when the action "plans" were elaborated and selected. We set out this criterion as a micro-criterion and then we explore an extension of it at a systemic level using the theory of meso-level connections.
