Dear friends,
I am editing a new special issue on “Governance of Artificial Intelligence” for the journal Information. The call for papers is online here. Please see details below. Please feel free to circulate this among others who may be interested.
Information is an open access journal with an author processing charge. GCRI is able to cover the author processing charge for a limited number of submissions. Interested authors should contact me directly about this.

Call For Papers: Governance of Artificial Intelligence
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/information/special_issues/Governance_AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is playing an increasingly important role in human affairs and in the world at large. The societal significance of AI technology demands effective governance via public policy and private activity alike. Successful AI governance must be dynamic and anticipatory so as to account for recent and future changes in both AI technology and the social systems that use it. Successful AI governance must also account for the uncertainties about both the technology and the social systems, including the possibility of rare extreme events. In addition, successful AI governance must have a sound ethical basis to ensure AI is developed and deployed in a way that is good or right. To succeed, AI governance needs to be grounded in rigorous, practical research that can inform real-world governance initiatives.
Therefore, the purpose of this special issue is to present the latest developments in AI governance. Investigators in the field are invited to contribute their original, unpublished works. Both research and review papers are welcome.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Governance issues related to near-term, medium-term, and/or long-term AI
- Governance of AI by governments, corporations, universities, and other relevant institutions
- Evaluations of opportunities to improve AI governance
- Ethical principles underlying AI governance, and the practical implementation of these principles
- Management of risks created by AI systems
- Critical evaluation of existing AI governance initiatives
- Proposals for new AI governance concepts and activities
- Reviews of AI governance literature and articulation of directions for future research
- Lessons for AI governance from other domains of governance and/or other fields of study
The final deadline for submissions is June 30, 2021. Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis and manuscripts will be published upon acceptance.
