We invite proposals for a new interdisciplinary book series, /AI 
Politics/, which will interrogate and shape debate on the social, 
political, and epistemological transformations wrought by artificial 
intelligence. This series provides a critical platform for researchers 
engaging with the emergent realities of AI — not speculative futures, 
but the immediate and ongoing contests over knowledge, data, 
information, power, identity, privacy, memory, economy, war, and 
resistance in the digital era.

The series is animated by an urgent need for epistemic authority in an 
environment dominated by accelerated technological change and discursive 
volatility. AI systems such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, DALL·E, Google Gemini, 
and Stable Diffusion embedding into everyday life, demands rigorous 
interdisciplinary, evidence-led inquiry, to illuminate the how, the why, 
and the ends.

/AI Politics/ welcomes contributions that address key thematic areas 
including (but not limited to):

AI and democratic trust * Generative AI and memory  * Surveillance and 
data justice * AI in warfare and security ecologies * AI and activist 
politics.

Each book in the series will contribute to mapping and critiquing the 
political logics, historical continuities, and sociotechnical 
imaginaries shaping AI today. We are particularly interested in 
scholarship that disrupts dominant narratives and reimagines how AI 
might be governed, contested, or transformed.

The series is open to a range of formats and lengths to ensure 
responsiveness to emerging debates and accessibility to diverse academic 
and policy audiences. These include:

  * Short form and Agenda-setting texts (30,000 and 60,000 words) that
    respond to critical events and policy shifts or reorient scholarly
    and public discourse;
  * Full-length monographs (50,000+ words) presenting comprehensive
    research and theoretical contributions;
  * Textbooks that redefine or re-map fields of study for students and
    instructors in the AI era.

We encourage proposals from scholars across disciplines including (but 
not limited to): political science, sociology, media studies, science 
and technology studies (STS), philosophy, international relations, 
communication, law, and digital humanities. We particularly welcome 
voices from underrepresented groups and regions.

To submit a proposal or express interest, please contact the series 
editors with a brief abstract (300–500 words), author biography, and 
indicative table of contents. Full proposal guidelines can be provided 
upon request.

/AI Politics/ is not just a series—it is a critical intervention in how 
we come to understand and live with AI. Join us in shaping this 
essential conversation.
