Artificial General Intelligence and Institutional Transformation: A Paradigm Shift from Instrumentalism to Judgment Authority Migration
Abstract
This paper examines the institutional implications of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), arguing that AGI should be understood not merely as an advanced tool but as a bearer of judgmental authority within social systems. The study analyzes the structural transition from instrumental rationality to delegated judgment, and explores how this shift reshapes legitimacy, governance, and institutional design in the AGI era.
