About the journal

Publishing AI that has left the lab.

Journal of Artificial Intelligence Applications and Impact publishes original research, reviews, and case studies on the design, deployment, and evaluation of artificial intelligence systems across scientific, industrial, and societal domains. We prioritize work that demonstrates how AI techniques are deployed, assessed, and evaluated for effect in practice — technical, economic, social, or ethical — over purely theoretical contributions.
