We are excited to announce a special issue on the intersection of 
artificial intelligence (AI) & socio-cultural contexts, with a focus on 
the Global South. As AI technologies continue to evolve, it’s crucial to 
critically examine their impact on diverse societies, particularly those 
that have been historically underrepresented & economically disadvantaged.
