Algorithmic Disrespect and the Crisis of Recognition in the Digital Age

This paper explores how artificial intelligence systems increasingly influence social recognition by determining who is seen, trusted, and included in institutional contexts. It introduces the concept of algorithmic disrespect, which occurs when AI classifications gain institutional authority and negatively impact individuals through embodied, agential, and symbolic dimensions. The analysis draws on Hegelian and Honnethian recognition theory to highlight a crisis in recognition caused by AI.
