  • Leadership governance under algorithmic mediation: reconceptualizing transformative leadership through an integrative review
    Nasser Al Harrasi, Abir Al Mujaini
    Leadership and Organization Development Journal, 2026
    Purpose This paper explores the evolving nature of leadership in the context of AI integration, focusing on the transformation of leadership roles, ethical challenges and the redistribution of power and decision-making authority. It aims to offer a conceptual framework that guides leadership theory and practice in the digital age. Design/methodology/approach Using a structured literature review of sources published between 2014 and 2024, the paper synthesizes insights from transformational leadership, ethical leadership and the Cynefin framework. It also examines key organizational and human-centric challenges associated with AI adoption, including resistance to change, ethical risks and competency development. Findings The review indicates that in AI-mediated systems, leadership is enacted primarily as leadership governance. This involves decision-rights allocation, accountability, oversight and auditability, and escalation and human override. It also includes contesting algorithmic outputs when needed. The three domains identified (human-centred, strategic and technical) function as resources for enacting governance. Legitimacy and identity pressures rise when leaders are held accountable for AI-influenced outcomes without equivalent interpretive access or discretionary control. Practical implications For leadership educators, the findings suggest the need to move beyond generic “AI literacy” toward governance-informed learning designs that develop judgement under algorithmic mediation. Curriculum modules can explicitly combine ethical reasoning, identity work, and decision-making under algorithmic uncertainty. Originality/value The paper contributes to leadership theory by reconceptualizing transformative leadership in AI-integrated contexts as leadership governance, a sociotechnical condition defined by decision-rights allocation, institutional accountability, oversight, and enforceable escalation and override.

    Nasser Al Harrasi, Nada Al Subhi, Shaima Al Harthy, Jowhara Al Habsi
    Social Sciences and Humanities Open, 2025
    The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education is rapidly reshaping how learning is delivered and experienced. While existing research highlights the potential of AI to enhance personalization, engagement, and efficiency, few studies have comprehensively evaluated AI teachers from the learner's perspective. In this context, the term “AI teacher” refers to an artificial intelligence-powered agent that delivers course content, interacts with learners, answers their questions, evaluates their understanding, and supports them in achieving the intended course learning outcomes without direct involvement from a human instructor. This study investigates the perceived effectiveness of AI-led instruction across four critical dimensions: course-specific engagement, learner motivation, learning efficiency, and overall educational experience. A structured questionnaire was administered to 171 participants, and the resulting data were analyzed using correlation and ordinally regression techniques. The findings revealed that Educational Experience was the strongest predictor of perceived effectiveness, followed by Learner Motivation and Educator Support. Interestingly, Learner Efficiency demonstrated a strong positive correlation but a significant negative regression coefficient, suggesting a suppressor effect when controlling for other variables. Course-Specific Engagement, while strongly correlated with effectiveness, was not a statistically significant predictor in the model. Overall, the regression model accounted for over 80 % of the variance in perceived effectiveness. Moreover, the study highlights the pivotal moderating role of educator support, emphasizing the importance of human–AI collaboration in optimizing learning outcomes. Despite technical and emotional limitations associated with AI delivery, learners appreciated the personalization, clarity, and flexibility provided by the AI teacher. This research contributes to the growing discourse on AI in education by offering a learner-centered evaluation model and providing actionable insights for educators, developers, and policymakers seeking to implement effective, scalable AI-based teaching solutions.

  • Future horizons: Exploring artificial intelligence's role in shaping research landscapes
    Nasser Al Harrasi, Mohamed Salah El Din
    Utilizing AI for Assessment Grading and Feedback in Higher Education, 2024
    This chapter explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on various research domains. The chapter highlights the leading role of AI research platforms in the development of AI in research practices. In addition, the chapter describes the fundamental concepts of AI powered tools such as generative artificial intelligence and large language models. The narrative extends to AI integration in modern research practices, spotlighting its use in hypothesis formulation, generation of research questions, and data analysis. AI's contributions to data analysis in many fields are explored, particularly in automating processes and generating insights. The discussion further explores several AI applications in various research domains such as RPA, Semantic Scholar, and DeepChem. However, potential bias and transparency are main challenges of AI-powered applications. Therefore, it is imperative to champion explainable AI and human-in-the-loop approaches to improve confidence. The chapter recommends further interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers and AI developers.
