Inaugural Announcement of AI & Society
Inaugural Announcement of AI & Society
We are honoured to announce the launch of AI & Society, an international peer-reviewed journal devoted to critical and interdisciplinary research on the evolving relationship between artificial intelligence and human societies. The journal aims to advance scholarly conversations that interrogate how AI technologies shape, and are shaped by, cultural norms, social structures, economic systems, and ethical frameworks.
Our Mission
AI & Society seeks to promote rigorous, reflective, and theoretically informed scholarship that challenges conventional narratives about technological progress. We welcome analyses that question power relations, structural inequalities, epistemic assumptions, and the broader socio-cultural transformations brought about by AI.
Scope of the Journal
The journal provides a platform for multidisciplinary dialogue, encouraging contributions from:
• Social sciences (sociology, political science, anthropology, communication studies)
• Humanities (philosophy, cultural studies, ethics, history)
• Law and public policy
• Science and technology studies (STS)
• Computer science and engineering (with critical or interpretive perspectives)
Topics of particular interest include:
• Social and cultural implications of AI systems
• Algorithmic governance, surveillance, and power
• Ethical frameworks and normative debates in AI development
• AI and labor, inequality, economic restructuring
• Human identity, embodiment, creativity, and digital subjectivities
• Critical perspectives on data, infrastructures, platforms, and automation
• Intersections of AI with democracy, rights, global justice, and policy design
Editorial Commitment
The journal employs a rigorous double-blind peer-review process and adheres to international standards of academic integrity. We aim to cultivate a space for nuanced critique, interdisciplinary engagement, and forward-looking intellectual exploration.
Call for Contributions
We invite scholars, practitioners, and emerging researchers to submit original articles, review essays, conceptual analyses, and case-based studies that deepen our understanding of AI’s societal implications. Through this collective effort, we hope to contribute to a more reflective, equitable, and human-centered technological future.
