Abstract Professions continue to be the primary means through which societies institutionalize expertise. Recent analyses and narratives predict that artificial intelligence (AI) will make meaningful inroads into non‐routine reasoning about complex cases, threatening authority of professions. These predictions, we argue, draw on substantialist understandings expertise as an intellectual possession, a mental achievement, or cognitive state performed – by humans machines achieve effects. A synthesis empirical studies shows is more accurately conceptualized relationally constituted generated, applied, recognized interactions. Relational creates challenges opacity, translation, accountability for development deployment AI technologies in context professional work. relational understanding disrupts notions professions may augmented with, subordinated to, dismantled technologies.

Human decisions are increasingly supported by decision support systems (DSS). Humans required to remain "on the loop," monitoring and approving/rejecting machine recommendations. However, use of DSS can lead overreliance on machines, reducing human oversight. This paper proposes "reflection machines" (RM) increase meaningful control. An RM provides a medical expert not with suggestions for decision, but questions that stimulate reflection about decisions. It refer data points or suggest counterarguments less compatible planned decision. RMs think against proposed in order resistance automation complacency.
