The Case Against Disclosure: Defending Creative Autonomy in the Age of AI
No full textThe book advances a provocative argument against the growing institutional movement to mandate disclosure of artificial intelligence in creative practice. At a moment when universities, publishers, and regulatory bodies insist on transparency regarding the use of generative systems, this book contends that such requirements misconstrue the very nature of authorship. Disclosure regimes, rather than safeguarding integrity, function as bureaucratic instruments that prioritize procedural conformity over the lived realities of creative innovation. By framing transparency as an obligation rather than a choice, they risk constraining creators within rigid orthodoxies that undermine experimentation and silence emergent forms of authorship. Drawing on historical precedents, contemporary case studies, and evolving legal frameworks, the authors demonstrate that accountability is not achieved through documenting every technological intervention but through an author’s willingness to assume responsibility for the work as presented. They argue that mandatory disclosure is both impractical—given the complexity and opacity of modern AI systems—and inequitable, disproportionately burdening independent creators and interdisciplinary practitioners. In rejecting the presumption that transparency equates to credibility, the book proposes a recalibration of authorship: one grounded in responsibility and trust rather than exhaustive process reporting. This conceptual shift opens a pathway toward policies that respect creative autonomy while still recognizing the realities of technologically mediated production

Social Capital as a Commons: Towards A New Framework for Leadership and Governance
No full textThis study positions social capital—defined as the trust, reciprocity, networks, and collective norms that support societal cooperation—as a critical form of the commons. Building on foundational research into the tangible commons, the paper extends the concept to the social commons, arguing that social capital qualifies as a resource vulnerable to externalities yet essential to societal health. Identified as a subcomponent of the broader social commons, it is critical in fostering cooperation, mitigating social tensions, and enabling sustainable development. Through an interdisciplinary literature review and the application of Social Affinity Flow Theory (SAFT), the analysis also reveals how social capital impacts governance, leadership, and institutional trust. Historical examples and contemporary case studies demonstrate how intentional actions, such as fostering community cohesion or addressing systemic inequities, can either strengthen or erode this vital resource. The findings suggest that modern governance and leadership must prioritize the protection and enhancement of social capital to ensure societal resilience and equity. By framing social capital as a commons, this research offers a new lens for evaluating leaders and institutions while advocating for policies that safeguard the social fabric at all levels
