Journal Guide

Cambridge Forum on AI: Culture and Society publishes research both about and produced with artificial intelligence (AI): research about the social and cultural implications of AI as well as studies employing AI to develop new methodologies for critical research. Its goal is to understand the social and cultural situatedness of AI, how AI is socially and culturally enacted, how AI influences wider social and cultural formations, and how this might change with different culturally sensitive manifestations of AI. The journal takes up a core challenge of our times: how to make sense of and intervene in our entanglement with the emerging regimes of smart machines in order to both harness their positive potentials and mitigate their harmful effects. Cambridge Forum on AI: Culture and Society will publish humanities and social science research on epistemologies, histories and practices of AI, casting light on how AI applications translate, undermine or advance the diversity of social and cultural values and lifeworlds. Responding to wider public and political debates, and encouraging critical inquiry with AI as well as about AI, the journal will foster new methodologies, critical capacities and computational practices. Importantly, while the journal employs the terms ‘artificial intelligence’ and ‘AI’ , it joins those concerned to probe critically how it is that these terms have come to be established and reproduced uncontroversially. The journal will publish themed issues that tackle questions and problematizations that are shared, disputed and debated across disciplines. Cambridge Forum on AI: Culture and Society is part of the Cambridge Forum series, which progresses cross-disciplinary conversations on issues of global importance.

Cambridge Forum on AI: Law and Governance publishes content focused on the governance of artificial intelligence (AI) from law, rules, and regulation through to ethical behaviour, accountability and responsible practice. It also looks at the impact on society of such governance along with how AI can be used responsibly to benefit the legal, corporate and other sectors.

Following the emergence of generative AI and broader general purpose AI models, there is a pressing need to clarify the role of governance, to consider the mechanisms for oversight and regulation of AI, and to discuss the interrelationships and shifting tensions between the legal and regulatory landscape, ethical implications and evolving technologies. Cambridge Forum on AI: Law and Governance uses themed issues to bring together voices from law, business, applied ethics, computer science and many other disciplines to explore the social, ethical and legal impact of AI, data science, and robotics and the governance frameworks they require.

Cambridge Forum on Corporate Climate Governance explores how actions to address climate change by the corporate sector can contribute to a sustainable future and the decision-making processes and legal, regulatory and financial frameworks required to facilitate this.

Technology is reshaping global affairs, and redefining economic ties, military strategies, and governance. From AI and quantum computing to global data governance, technological advancements are at the heart of international competition and cooperation. Yet, existing institutions are struggling to keep pace, raising concerns about innovation, inequality, security, and regulatory oversight.

Cambridge Prisms: Antimicrobial Resistance is dedicated to advancing and accelerating the development, uptake, and adoption of products, processes, and policies to help mitigate the impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Addressing AMR effectively requires an integrated, One Health approach, which recognises that human, animal and environmental health are interconnected. Our primary mission is to serve as an essential platform for the dissemination of high-quality translational and implementation research, innovation, and informed discourse on AMR. Beyond the traditional boundaries of scientific inquiry, the journal aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration by providing a forum where researchers, clinicians, veterinarians, policymakers, regulators, and industry and business stakeholders converge to share insights that will deliver impact. The journal advocates for increased global efforts to address AMR and protect the efficacy of current and new antimicrobial medicines. We encourage submissions that investigate how and why efforts to curb AMR have, to date, not yielded the expected results. We encourage the generation of evidence for action as well as evidence of action on curbing AMR. Additionally, we seek studies that highlight the need for systems’ level thinking and that provide information to prevent adverse consequences of interventions being shifted from one sector to another.

Carbon Technologies focuses on innovative and interdisciplinary research aimed at mitigating the impact of climate change by reducing carbon emissions and their environmental impact. The journal serves as a dynamic platform for scientists, engineers, and policymakers, to collaborate on advancing Carbon Capture, Usage, and Storage (CCUS) technologies. Our goal is to foster breakthroughs that contribute to advance the understanding of CCUS strategies and to enable and accelerate their implementation. Special emphasis is placed on studies and analyses that help bridge the gap between discovery, innovation, and the large-scale implementation in CCUS technologies.
