AI, Ethics and Organisational Communication
Research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, Ubuntu ethics, and the communicational dynamics of digital transformation in organisations.
Tounkara, M., Abba, H., Labour, M.(2026). When GenAI Meets Ubuntu: Road-Testing Qualitative Interviewing with LLMs.(forthcoming)
A comparative study examining how ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude perform as simulated interviewees in a semi-structured research interview, assessed through two original frameworks (STARA and STRING) and an Ubuntu ethical lens. The study identifies distinct communicational regimes across models and reveals a structural marginalisation of Solidarity in AI-mediated discourse.
