Artificial entrepreneurial cognition: Locating and causally steering an opportunity recognition dial inside large language models (LLMs)

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 14, 2026 · UTC

Entrepreneurial cognition is a foundation of entrepreneurship research. Yet the growing involvement of large language models (LLMs) in entrepreneurial work extends the cognition question beyond human actors to systems whose internal representations remain largely unexplored. We introduce artificial entrepreneurial cognition, the functional organisation of entrepreneurship-relevant representations and computations inside artificial intelligence (AI) systems. We bring mechanistic interpretability into entrepreneurship research through representation engineering. Focusing on opportunity recogniti
