Journal of Responsible AI and Social Equity (JRASE)

Aim

The Journal of Responsible AI and Social Equity (JRASE) aims to advance policy-oriented, experience-driven, and interdisciplinary scholarship on how artificial intelligence can be governed, designed, and deployed to promote equitable access to education, healthcare, and essential public goods.

The journal emphasizes the importance of aligning AI systems with societal values by ensuring that the benefits generated from data-driven technologies are fairly distributed—particularly to the individuals and communities who contribute to the creation of data.

JRASE seeks to foster global dialogue and actionable insights on building sustainable, inclusive, and cooperative AI ecosystems that prioritize human dignity, social equity, and collective well-being.
