| Summary: | <p class="first" id="d270262e77">Numerous organizations are placing great emphasis on such techniques as evidence-based
protocols to automation and artificial intelligence (AI) with the aim of improving
efficiency and maximizing profitability. Such instrumental techniques attempt to formalize
all manner of environmental phenomena through abstraction and categorization. They
have also reduced organizational capability to deal with dynamic environmental complexities,
uncertainties and ambiguities. The aim of this paper is to examine organizational
approaches relying heavily on formalized/automated protocols in aviation, medicine
and other professional domains targeted by AI development. Such approaches repress
the human capability known as
<i>mètis</i>, which organizations require to deal successfully with dynamic ambiguities in the
form of unexpected emergencies.
<i>Mètis</i> is briefly explained, and examples of organizational barriers preventing its manifestation
are given.
