CFP: ‘The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and the Professions’ Special Issue of Research in Ethical Issues in Organizations (Emerald)

Call for Papers: ‘The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and the Professions’ Special Issue of Research in Ethical Issues in Organizations (Emerald)

Artificial Intelligence raises particular challenges for professional jobs. Following our recent Symposium, we invite submissions of papers of between 5,000 – 10,000 words on what artificial intelligence will mean for the professions, and especially for professional ethics.

Papers should be submitted to [email protected] by 30th of June 2025.

Research in Ethical Issues in Organizations (REIO) encourages a cross disciplinary approach and aims to draw on a wide range of fields. We encourage authors to submit rigorous research studies (essayistic or empirical) from a wide variety of academic perspectives including (but not limited to) business management, philosophy, sociology, psychology, religion, accounting, and marketing. 

Focus of the Special Issue and Suggested Topics:

In contrast to previous revolutions in technology and work, the professions are more vulnerable to impact and change from artificial intelligence.

The 2024 AAPAE Symposium brought together a range of scholars and practitioners across disciplines to consider the questions, challenges, and opportunities artificial intelligence represents for those in the professions. There was particular focus on the ethical dimensions as well as what they might mean for the nature of the professions and professionals themselves. Papers addressed the professions across the law, education, medicine, and the military.

Questions of interest include but are not limited to:

·         What does AI mean for the professions?

·         What does AI mean for professional ethics?

·         What impact will AI have on education and training pathways for those in the professions?

·         What does the public have a right to expect of the professions with respect to AI?

·         What does AI mean for the role of special knowledge in the professions?

·         We invite papers that address these questions and issues for publication in a forthcoming Special Issue of Research in Ethical Issues in Organizations (Emerald).

Deadlines and Submission Process

Full papers should be submitted to [email protected] by 30th of June 2025.
