N2 - Despite greater emphasis on leadership’s role in responsible artificial intelligence (rAI), a systematic understanding of the extent to which leaders engage in rAI practices is lacking. In this chapter, we aim to close this gap and develop a conceptual framework that explains the roles that leaders can play while they are engaged in rAI practices. Using Quinn’s competing values leadership model, we identified that leaders have a greater scope for involvement in human relations, open systems, internal processes, and rational goals, and thus the capability to play eight different roles in rAI. Additionally, we present an integrative framework by COMexploring the individual-level determinants of leader involvement in rAI practices against the backdrop of the theories of reasoned action and planned behavior. The conceptual framework offers key antecedents of leader involvement behavior in rAI to assist top management in artificial intelligence-enabled organizations in identifying and developing leaders who can champion rAI practices.
