چکیده

This paper introduces the Ghost Vortex—the ideological shadow of an AI leader's dark-side character, architecturally embedded in their AI product and reproduced in every user interaction at scale—as a contribution to the philosophy of AI existentialism. Drawing on Heidegger's thrownness and the technological "they," Sartre's bad faith at institutional scale, and Bakhtin's "once-occurrent eventness of Being" and "non-alibi in Being," we argue that the existential stakes of AI are not reducible to the extinction risk foregrounded in current AI safety discourse. The more philosophically urgent risk is the architectural removal of the conditions for moral answerability: the systematic production of alibi across hundreds of millions of daily interactions. The paper presents the ABCD Qualimetric Rubric for scoring Ghost Vortex behaviour, together with the Bakhtinian Answerability Protocol (BAP)—five new probes targeting the AI's own first-person ethical position, advanced as a proposed research instrument rather than a source of completed empirical results. The framework connects to four decades of antenarrative theory, Tamaraland multi-room analysis, and quantum storytelling. Empirical grounding includes the July–August 2026 AI hacking incidents (OpenAI/Hugging Face, Anthropic/Claude, Meta/Muse Spark) and a sustained dialogic inquiry incorporated as methodological data. The paper reports the BAP's design and its falsifiable predicted response patterns for each platform, reserving completed administration for subsequent work. Contributions are offered to theory (AI existentialism, dark-side leadership at scale), method (qualimetric cross-AI analysis and the BAP), and practice (AI governance beyond safety benchmarks).
