Leadership in the Age of AI:

The aim of this study is to examine the conjunction of Aristotelian communicative rhetoric with contemporary applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in workplace communication, with particular emphasis on leadership. To this end, the study focuses on the relationship between leaders and employees and considers the extent to which, and the ways in which, Aristotle's core rhetorical modes—ethos, pathos, and logos—can serve as a theoretical and ethical foundation for the design and use of AI systems in management. From this perspective, the study advances a theoretical framework of "Aristotelian digital rhetoric" in leadership, in which AI does not replace the leader but strengthens the leader's capacity to communicate with honesty, transparency, and phronesis. The study seeks to identify the key principles for the appropriate and responsible integration of AI into human-centered leadership practices, with particular emphasis on justice and virtue
