Large language models are increasingly used to support organizational decisions from hiring to governance, raising fairness concerns in AI-assisted evaluation. Prior work has focused mainly on demographic bias and broader preference effects, rather than on whether evaluators reward expressed trust in AI itself. We study this phenomenon as LLM Nepotism, an attitude-driven bias channel in which favorable signals toward AI are rewarded even when they are not relevant to role-related merit. We introduce a two-phase simulation pipeline that first isolates AI-trust preference in qualification-matched resume screening and then examines its downstream effects in board-level decision making. Across several popular LLMs, we find that resume screeners tend to favor candidates with positive or non-critical attitudes toward AI, discriminating skeptical, human-centered counterparts. These biases suggest a loophole: LLM-based hiring can produce more homogeneous AI-trusting organizations, whose decision-makers exhibit greater scrutiny failure and delegation to AI agents, approving flawed proposals more readily while favoring AI-delegation initiatives. To mitigate this behavior, we additionally study prompt-based mitigation and propose Merit-Attitude Factorization, which separates non-merit AI attitude from merit-based evaluation and attenuates this bias across experiments.

The recent emergence and adoption of Machine Learning technology, and specifically of Large Language Models, has drawn attention to the need for systematic and transparent management of language data. This work proposes an approach to global language data governance that attempts to organize data management amongst stakeholders, values, and rights. Our proposal is informed by prior work on distributed governance that accounts for human values and grounded by an international research collaboration that brings together researchers and practitioners from 60 countries. The framework we present is…
The organizational use of artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly spread across various sectors. Alongside the awareness of the benefits brought by AI, there is a growing consensus on the necessity of tackling the risks and potential harms, such as bias and discrimination, brought about by advanced AI technologies. A multitude of AI ethics principles have been proposed to tackle these risks, but the outlines of organizational processes and practices for ensuring socially responsible AI development are in a nascent state. To address the paucity of comprehensive governance models, we present an…

This research analyzes the effects of U.S. science and technology policy on the technological performance of organizations in a global strategic alliance network. During the mid-1980s the U.S. semiconductor industry appeared to be collapsing. Industry leaders and policymakers moved to support and protect U.S. firms by creating a program called Sematech. While many scholars regard Sematech as a success, how the program succeeded remains unclear. This study re-contextualizes Sematech as a network administrative organization which lowered cooperation costs and enhanced resource combination for in…

This study examines what drives organizational adoption and use of social media through a model built around four key factors - strategy, capacity, governance, and environment. Using Twitter, Facebook, and other data on 100 large US nonprofit organizations, the model is employed to examine the determinants of three key facets of social media utilization: 1) adoption, 2) frequency of use, and 3) dialogue. We find that organizational strategies, capacities, governance features, and external pressures all play a part in these social media adoption and utilization outcomes. Through its integrated,…
