Call for Papers

NEXUS.AI 2026 invites scholars, researchers, practitioners, and advanced doctoral candidates from across disciplines to contribute to an international, peer-reviewed virtual conference dedicated to one of the most consequential transformations of our time: the reconfiguration of knowledge, governance, and human agency in the age of artificial intelligence.

👉 Registration Form: https://forms.gle/8kTcYAnUsNvv7NyR9 

Artificial intelligence has become a structural condition of contemporary societies. It mediates communication, reorganizes cognition, reshapes institutional decision-making, and increasingly participates in legal, managerial, and geopolitical processes. As AI systems generate, filter, and validate information, the epistemic foundations of modern societies—how truth is produced, governed, and contested—are undergoing profound transformation.

What is at stake is not merely technological innovation, but authority, responsibility, legitimacy, and public trust in AI-mediated environments. NEXUS.AI 2026 is conceived as a space of rigorous intellectual engagement rather than consensus. The conference explicitly encourages critical dialogue across disciplines, methodologies, and normative positions, recognizing that the complexity of AI-driven transformations cannot be addressed through siloed approaches or simplified narratives.

Conference Focus

The conference explores how artificial intelligence reshapes:

  • knowledge production and epistemic authority
  • law, regulation, and accountability
  • organizational governance and strategic management
  • communication, cognition, and psychological well-being
  • public trust, institutional legitimacy, and resilience
  • international relations, security, and crisis governance

Key Themes and Critical Topics

We welcome conceptual, empirical, normative, and applied contributions, including (but not limited to):

  1. AI and the Transformation of Knowledge
    Machine-generated knowledge, epistemic authority, truth validation, synthetic evidence, epistemic risk, governance of knowledge in algorithmic environments.
  2. AI-Mediated Communication and Emerging Psychopathologies
    Algorithmic anxiety, cognitive overload, social comparison dynamics, identity fragmentation, digital dependency, attention economies.
  3. Law, Regulation, and Accountability
    AI governance frameworks, regulatory models, liability, compliance, responsibility gaps, data protection, transparency, due process in automated decision-making.
  4. Management, Strategy, and Organizational Decision-Making
    AI in leadership, strategic governance, risk management, HR analytics, performance monitoring, institutional resilience, AI-driven change management.
  5. AI and International Relations
    Algorithmic governance in diplomacy and security, crisis response, hybrid threats, information warfare, geopolitical stability.
  6. Ethics and Human Agency
    Autonomy, manipulation, fairness, explainability, human oversight, ethical design, responsibility in AI-mediated environments.
  7. Public Trust, Governance, and Institutional Stability
    Trust erosion, legitimacy crises, public communication strategies, policy design, societal resilience in AI-saturated contexts.

Fundamental Questions

  • How does AI redefine the production and validation of knowledge, and what are the implications for democratic governance and institutional legitimacy?
  • In what ways does AI-mediated communication generate new cognitive and affective distortions, and how can societies respond?
  • What legal safeguards are necessary when AI influences perception, decision-making, and social outcomes at scale?
  • How should organizations manage AI-driven transformation while protecting human dignity, well-being, and accountability?
  • How does AI reshape crisis governance, geopolitics, and conflict dynamics in contexts of accelerated information warfare?
  • What models of psychological, managerial, and societal resilience remain credible in AI-saturated environments?

Submission Categories

We welcome original, unpublished contributions, including:

  • Research papers (theoretical or empirical)
  • Conceptual and normative frameworks
  • Comparative and interdisciplinary case studies
  • Legal and policy analyses
  • Applied or field-based reports
  • Cross-disciplinary bridge proposals

Submissions from early-career researchers and doctoral candidates are strongly encouraged.

All submissions will undergo double-blind peer review. In the double-blind peer review evaluation of the papers, the Scientific Committee and the external evaluators can recommend: acceptance of papers in the Conference; making changes in the scientific papers; motivated refusal of the registration papers.

Publication and Indexing

Accepted and presented papers will be considered for publication in a peer-reviewed conference volume, subject to reviewer recommendations and editorial standards.

Detailed submission guidelines, formatting instructions, and publication timelines will be provided on the conference website. The papers accepted at the conference will be published in one of the partner publications. For details on the Conference publications click here.
