About the Wharton Accountable AI Forum
A forum for scholarship on the governance, accountability, and societal impact of artificial intelligence.
The Wharton Accountable AI Forum is a platform for interdisciplinary scholarship on the governance, accountability, and societal impact of artificial intelligence. The Forum publishes short, accessible essays that distill insights from longer-form academic research, with the aim of informing policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and the broader public.
The Forum focuses on questions at the intersection of AI systems and institutional decision-making, including—but not limited to— bias, privacy, legal responsibility, intellectual property, misinformation, job displacement, and manipulation.. Contributions are grounded in rigorous scholarship and are intended to clarify emerging issues, highlight novel arguments, and surface open questions in the governance of AI.
The Wharton Accountable AI Forum is an initiative of the Wharton Accountable AI Lab, which brings together faculty and researchers across disciplines to study how AI systems can be developed, deployed, and governed responsibly. The Forum serves as a complement to traditional academic publishing by creating space for timely engagement with ongoing research and policy debates.
Submissions
The Forum welcomes contributions from scholars working on AI governance and related topics. Essays typically range from 800–1,000 words and are intended to summarize or extend existing academic work, including published articles, forthcoming papers, or works in progress.
Submission guidelines and inquiries may be directed to aiforumeditors@wharton.upenn.edu.
