New Journal: The Journal of Artificial Intelligence, Risk, Regulation, Law, and Policy

The Journal of Artificial Intelligence, Risk Regulation, Law, and Policy aims to provide a forum for high quality discussion of the regulatory, legal, policy, and practical issues that AI generates. Whilst the focus is on these specific aspects, the scope of application within them is considerable since the reach and impact of AI covers many areas such as financial, healthcare, military, security, labour and so on. The scope of legal focus therefore encompasses international, comparative, public, and private law.

Perspectives on relevant issues can be internationally focused or tethered to a particular jurisdiction. And what is more,where appropriate, insights from other disciplines such as ethics, politics, and economics may be brought to bear. By combining insights from such interdisciplinary, international, and comparative perspectives, it is hoped that the Journal becomes the “go to” and “one-stop” resource for AI related research in the areas of risk regulation, law, and policy.

The Editorial Board benefits from the experience of academics in several disciplines e.g., law (both private and public; and civil and common), and economics, as well as practitioners in a range of sectors e.g., law, finance, data analytics, and machine learning, and continents e.g., EU, America, Oceania, and Asia.

The journal accepts:

• Short articles of approximately 1,500 to 3,500 words (excluding footnotes), providing a concise analysis of recent political, policy, regulatory or legal developments relating to AI.

• Research articles of approximately 5,000 to 8,000 words (excluding footnotes), offering legal, policy- based, regulatory, practical, or political analyses on significant, and current, issues relating to AI. They should explain the issue or development in an accessible way.

  
  

• Book reviews of approximately 750 to 1,500 words that combine a summary of the main themes, and arguments of the book, with constructive commentary. Books reviewed should have been published within the past year.

• Asimov’s Position Papers of approximately 4,000 to 7,000words, named in honour of Isaac Asimov, should present a clear, but still substantiated, view on legal, regulatory, policy or social issues.
