AICIVIA: Journal of Artificial Intelligence, Technology, and Social Transformation publishes interdisciplinary research examining digital technologies as part of social, institutional, economic, political, cultural, educational, legal, and governance processes. Manuscripts must place digital technology, digital transformation, data-driven systems, artificial intelligence, or technology governance at the centre of the analysis.

The journal particularly welcomes research that connects technological innovation with its practical implementation, societal consequences, institutional arrangements, ethical challenges, regulatory frameworks, and public policy implications.
