      ab: This article contributes to the evolving discourse on the role of technology in public policy formulation by proposing an integration of algorithmic meta‐capital (AMC) into the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF). Recognizing the profound impact of algorithms on shaping public narratives and policy discussions, this research attempts to unravel the complex ways in which the symbolic social power embedded in modern algorithmic systems influences the initiation and reception of public policies. Through examinations at the micro (individual), meso (group), and macro (cultural and institutional) levels, the study reveals how AMC impacts the dissemination and resonance of policy narratives, alters the dynamics within advocacy coalitions and interest groups, and contributes to the stability and evolution of algorithmic institutionalization. In presenting our arguments, we also provide real cases and ideas aimed at future empirical investigations.
