[Christoph Lutz]

   Dear AoIR Community,

   I would like to bring your attention to a recent special issue call for
   papers that might be of interest for some, namely in Telecommunications
   Policy on the topic of "Policy Responses to Generative AI" and edited
   by Jonathan Obar, Madelyn Rose Sanfilippo and me (Christoph Lutz).

   Generative AI is affecting politics, industry, education, national
   security, and society, raising urgent questions about law, governance,
   and regulation. This special issue of Telecommunications Policy invites
   empirical, conceptual, and theoretical contributions that explore how
   policy can and should respond to generative AI. Comparative and
   integrative perspectives are especially welcome.


   Potential topics include (non-exhaustive):
     * Synthetic media (e.g. deepfakes)
     * AI fairness, transparency, and bias
     * Intellectual property and ownership
     * Content moderation
     * Risk and security standards
     * Privacy and reputation management
     * Public participation in AI governance
     * Critical and cultural approaches to AI governance


   The link to the special issue is available
