Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly impacted the way we live,
work, teach, and do research. The editors of *PS: Political Science and
Politics
<https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/ps-political-science-and-politics/>*
invite submissions for a special issue
<https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/ps-political-science-and-politics/announcements/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-academic-work-in-the-age-of-ai>
about the role and impact of AI on various aspects of academic work
including pedagogy, research publications, student assignments, and the
ethics of authorship. The special issue will provide a forum for political
scientists to discuss the rising trend of AI’s presence in academic work
and evaluate its challenges, opportunities, and consequences.

The objectives of the special issue are to:

   1. offer and/or test hypotheses about topics related to how AI impacts
   the quality of teaching, quality of undergraduate writing, or ability to
   evaluate student assignments;
   2. propose an evaluation of AI tools (such as but not limited to
   OpenAI’s ChatGPT) and their impact on research integrity and editorial
   ethics issues;
   3. determine the areas of pedagogy, evaluation, or research that can
   more or less benefit from OpenAI and discuss how institutions can adapt to
   their growing influence; and
   4. engage, analyze, and expand on existing debates on the role and merit
   of embracing the use of AI in academic research.

We are interested in article-length original research submissions for this
special issue that address one or more of these objectives.

Examples of submissions might include papers that conduct:

   1. empirical studies on the effects of using tools such as ChatGPT in
   the classroom (e.g., development of syllabi and assignments, grading
   assignments)
   2. analytical studies of current and former journal editors’ experiences
   navigating a world where authors may use AI tools in developing manuscripts
   and what factors maximize the chance for authors to submit ethical work;
   3. empirical studies of professors’ strategies to navigate a world in
   which students can use AI tools to write numerous types of papers and
   research assignments and what factors maximize the chance for students to
   submit ethical work.
