Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming a core driver of the new round of technological and industrial revolution, while also gradually evolving into a critical technological domain with global public attributes. Currently, the rapid advancement of global AI technologies is exerting profound influence on socio-economic development and the progress of human civilization, bringing immense opportunities to the world alongside unpredictable risks and complex challenges. In this context, AI governance is evolving beyond singular technical regulation, permeating into comprehensive, multi-sectoral, and interdisciplinary dimensions, profoundly reshaping economic production, social structures, and the international order.
The Center for Global AI Innovative Governance (CGAIG), as a specialized and international collaborative platform focused on global AI innovation governance, in partnership with Shanghai People’s Publishing House, is pleased to launch the book series Global AI Innovative Governance. This publication adopts a “monographic series” (book-as-journal) format with a continuous publishing mechanism, planned for two issues per year. It is dedicated to establishing a sustained and influential brand for academic and policy research on AI governance.
We hereby invite experts and scholars from around the world to submit original research. We aim to focus on the frontier issues and institutional logics of global AI governance, promoting high-level research outcomes characterized by academic originality and international theoretical vision from multi-dimensional perspectives.
I. Research Scope
The series adopts a global perspective, integrating Chinese experience with international comparative studies. It focuses on critical issues such as the construction of regulatory frameworks, capacity-building mechanisms, the provision of international public goods, and the control of infrastructure and technology. We cordially invite scholars from the humanities and social sciences—including Political Science, Sociology, Economics, Law, and Journalism and Communication—to submit their work. We also welcome experts from natural science fields such as Computer Science and Technology to explore strategies for global AI innovation governance from plural theoretical and interdisciplinary perspectives.
