About the Journal

Aim and Scope

The International Journal of Artificial Intelligence, Ethics, Governance and Public Policy (IJAIGP) is a peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal dedicated to the rigorous, interdisciplinary examination of artificial intelligence from ethical, governance, legal, and public policy perspectives. As AI systems become increasingly embedded in critical societal infrastructure — from healthcare and criminal justice to financial markets and democratic processes — the need for scholarly discourse that transcends technical boundaries has never been greater.

IJAIGP was established to serve as an authoritative academic forum for researchers, legal scholars, philosophers, computer scientists, social scientists, policy professionals, and governance experts who seek to interrogate the profound societal, ethical, and institutional implications of artificial intelligence. The journal is committed to publishing work that is empirically grounded, theoretically innovative, and policy-relevant.

Operating as a fully open-access publication, IJAIGP ensures that all scholarly contributions are immediately and universally available to researchers, policymakers, civil society organizations, and the general public — recognizing that the governance of AI is a shared global responsibility requiring broad engagement. All articles are subject to a rigorous double-blind peer review process, guaranteeing the highest standards of scholarly integrity.

Scope and Coverage

IJAIGP publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, policy analyses, legal commentaries, case studies, conceptual frameworks, and interdisciplinary perspectives on — but not limited to — the following thematic areas:

•         AI ethics: fairness, accountability, transparency, and explainability (FATE) in AI systems

•         Algorithmic bias, discrimination, and equity in AI decision-making

•         AI governance frameworks: national, regional, and international regulatory approaches

•         Human rights dimensions of AI, surveillance technologies, and biometric systems

•         AI and the rule of law: legal personhood, liability, and judicial AI use

•         Public policy design and implementation for emerging AI technologies

•         AI in democratic governance: electoral systems, disinformation, and public deliberation

•         Autonomous systems, robotics, and ethical frameworks for human-machine interaction

•         Data sovereignty, privacy regulation, and the ethics of data collection

•         Generative AI, large language models, and their societal implications

•         AI in healthcare governance: ethics, clinical decision support, and patient rights

•         AI in criminal justice: predictive policing, recidivism algorithms, and due process

•         AI labor displacement, future of work, and socioeconomic policy responses

•         Global AI governance architectures: multilateral institutions, treaties, and soft law

•         AI safety, existential risk, and long-term governance challenges

•         Intersectionality and AI: gender, race, disability, and algorithmic exclusion

IJAIGP welcomes contributions from scholars across law, philosophy, political science, computer science, sociology, economics, psychology, public administration, and international relations, provided the work addresses the governance, ethical, or policy dimensions of artificial intelligence.
