AI in Everyday Life: How Algorithmic Systems Shape Social Relations, Opportunity, and Public Trust
Artificial intelligence is often framed as a neutral technical tool that enhances efficiency and consistency in institutional decision-making. This article challenges that framing by showing that automated systems now operate as social and institutional actors that reshape recognition, opportunity, and public trust in everyday life. Focusing on employment screening, welfare administration, and digital platforms, the study examines how algorithmic systems mediate social relations and reorganise how individuals ar…
Algorithmic systems used in employment screening and welfare administration reproduce historical disadvantage and generate new exclusion while eroding relational recognition and producing trust deficits.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0202 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
