Original AI Public Value Creation: Data Encoding, Aggregation, and Algorithmic Computation
Antonio Cordella, Francesco Gualdi
Abstract
ABSTRACT AI systems in public administration challenge the premise that value creation arises from managers' strategic mediation among the vertices of Moore's strategic triangle: Public value, legitimacy, and operational capacity. AI imposes new logics that reshape vertices and their interaction dynamics. Critically, these transformations become entrenched through what we term algorithmic public value lock‐in: the crystallization of contingent value definitions into durable technical infrastructures resistant to democratic revision. Examining Peru's SISFOH, an algorithmic welfare‐targeting system, we reveal three interconnected shifts: data management recasts legitimacy as computational objectivity; standardized classifications redefine public value in narrow, quantifiable terms; and algorithmic processing transforms operational capacity from adaptive discretion to rigid execution. Together, these shifts produce lock‐in effects that potentially insulate public value creation from political negotiation.

Yuyan Cao, Xin Liang
Abstract
The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) may renew our understanding of evidence-based policymaking. Grounded in motivated reasoning and negativity bias literature, this study adopts a 2 × 2 survey experiment to explore how advice source and valence affect public officials’ trust and policy preference. Findings demonstrate that advice containing negative result exerts disproportionate influence. Moreover, when advice aligns with public officials’ prior policy beliefs, negativity bias amplifies their preference. These findings highlight how cognitive biases impede the public officials’ interpretation to policy advice.
