Call for Papers 

In an era defined by rapid technological advancements, the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Humanity has become one of the most pressing and transformative topics of our time. AI is no longer just a tool—it is reshaping how we live, work, and interact with the world. From revolutionizing healthcare and education to raising profound ethical questions about privacy, bias, and the future of work, AI is at the heart of both opportunity and challenge. 

As we stand on the brink of a new technological frontier, it is essential to ask: How can we ensure that AI serves humanity equitably? What are the ethical, social, and cultural implications of AI’s growing influence? And how can we harness its potential to create a better future for all? 

On behalf of the Lloyd International Honors College, we are thrilled to invite you to submit a paper for our upcoming Special Edition of Y Ddraig Goch: An Interdisciplinary Honors Journal. This edition will focus on the dynamic and multifaceted relationship between AI and Humanity, providing a platform for interdisciplinary research from undergraduate and graduate students, as well as early-career researchers 

We encourage submissions that explore diverse perspectives on AI, including but not limited to: 

• Ethics and AI: Addressing bias, fairness, and accountability in AI systems. 
• AI in Society: The impact of AI on employment, education, and social structures. 
• AI and the Environment: How AI can contribute to or hinder environmental sustainability. 
• Human-AI Collaboration: The future of human creativity, decision-making, and interaction with AI. 
• Philosophical and Cultural Perspectives: What does it mean to be human in the age of AI? 

Your work has the power to spark meaningful conversations, challenge assumptions, and inspire new ways of thinking. By sharing your research, you will contribute to a growing dialogue about how we can shape AI to reflect our shared values and aspirations.
