Aims & Scope

Journal of AI Ethics and Legal is an international, peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to the critical examination of ethical, legal, and societal implications arising from the rapid development and deployment of artificial intelligence. The journal serves as a pivotal forum for interdisciplinary dialogue among scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and ethicists.

The scope of the journal encompasses, but is not limited to, the following areas:

AI Ethics & Governance: Algorithmic bias and fairness, transparency and explainability of AI (XAI), accountability and responsibility, trustworthiness, moral agency of AI systems, and ethical frameworks for AI design and governance.

AI Law & Regulation: Legal liability for AI decisions, intellectual property rights for AI-generated content, data privacy and protection (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), regulatory compliance, AI in judicial systems, and international law and policy for AI.

Societal Impact & Philosophy: Socio-economic impacts of automation and job displacement, AI and social justice, philosophical questions on consciousness and personhood, public perception of AI, and the future of human-AI collaboration.

Domain-Specific Applications & Challenges: Ethical and legal issues in autonomous vehicles, healthcare AI, financial technology (FinTech), predictive policing, facial recognition, military applications (LAWS), and generative AI models.

The JAIEL provides a platform for disseminating high-quality research that addresses these complex challenges, promotes responsible innovation, and contributes to the development of robust legal standards and ethical norms for the global AI ecosystem.
