CFP: Thinking with AI: Ideas, Experiments, and Conversations

Thinking with AI is an special issue (a curated edited volume) from the Resp AI Research Lab. We invite contributions that explore artificial intelligence with both discipline and delight: serious research papers alongside less-serious (but still thoughtful) essays, provocations, dialogues, field notes, experimental formats, and reflective case studies.

Our lab focuses on frontier AI while staying grounded in business strategy, economics, and the philosophy and ethics of technology. In the same spirit, we welcome work that bridges technical developments with human meaning, organizational realities, and societal consequences.

Submissions may be technical, conceptual, empirical, or creative—so long as they are anchored in a defensible argument, observation, or method. we are not limited to any single discipline. If your work uses AI to interrogate something important—or uses something important to interrogate AI—we want to read it.

What to Submit Serious submissions

• Research articles (theory, methods, experiments, evaluations)
• Empirical studies (fieldwork, surveys, case studies, audits)
• Technical notes (compact but non-trivial contributions)
• Position papers (clear claims, grounded reasoning, testable implications)

Not-too-serious submissions

• Essays & provocations (sharp ideas, minimal fluff)
• Dialogues (human-human or human-AI, with commentary)
• Lab notes (failed experiments, lessons learned, deployment war stories)
• Miniatures (short pieces with one strong insight)

We accept manuscripts prepared in LaTeX or Word. Authors need to prepare manuscripts using the IEEE journal double-column layout (e.g., IEEE Transactions style). This format is recommended for readers’ convenience and for smoother compilation of the final ISBN volume. 

Language: English only.
