Revisiting Grounded Theory in the Age of Generative AI: Coding, Epistemic Work, and Human-AI Co-Analysis
Year: 2026
Type: other
Abstract: Method is never simply a neutral route from empirical material to a result. It shapes what can become visible, comparable and theoretically meaningful in a study. This matters especially when established qualitative methods meet generative AI (genAI). The relevant question is therefore not only whether a large language model (LLM) can generate codes, categories, or summaries. More fundamentally, we need to ask how analytical work is redistributed between researchers, methodological procedure...
