-Dr. Mohammed Al-Ali: The journal offers a deeper understanding of the impact of artificial intelligence on the political landscape
TRENDS Research & Advisory has launched “Artificial Intelligence and Political Science”, the first peer-reviewed journal of its kind in the Middle East. This groundbreaking initiative comes as part of TRENDS’ efforts to keep pace with rapid advances in artificial intelligence and its evolving tools, while also evaluating its impact on decision-making.
The journal aims to explore the intersections between intelligent technologies and various branches of political science, including international relations, political thought, comparative politics, and public policy. It also seeks to enrich the scientific and academic community with high-quality, specialized research and knowledge contributions.
The launch of the journal responds to the urgent need to examine the effects of artificial intelligence on governance and global political interactions. It will serve as a high-level academic platform for publishing peer-reviewed research that contributes to anticipating the future of decision-making both regionally and globally.
Supporting the Academic Landscape
Dr. Mohammed Abdullah Al-Ali, CEO of TRENDS Research & Advisory, stated that the launch of the peer-reviewed journal “Artificial Intelligence and Political Science” reflects TRENDS’ research-driven vision to support the academic landscape and promote foresight through knowledge. He added that the launch is also aligned with the global efforts to gain deeper insights into the implications of artificial intelligence for global politics.
Addressing Future Challenges
Dr. Al-Ali emphasized that the journal marks a significant milestone in TRENDS’ efforts to advance scientific research based on innovation and foresight. He explained that TRENDS views artificial intelligence not merely as a technological tool, but as a key driver in reshaping the dynamics of politics and international relations. Through this journal, TRENDS aims to build bridges of partnership, understanding, and sustainable collaboration among academics, researchers, thinkers, and decision-makers, offering innovative scientific approaches and insights to help address future challenges.
Open Scientific Platform
Mohammed Al-Zahouri, Senior Researcher and Director of Advanced Political Studies at TRENDS, and Editor-in-Chief of the journal, affirmed that “Artificial Intelligence and Political Science” is the first journal of its kind in the Middle East. It seeks to attract leading researchers and academics to enrich the scientific field with research that explores, analyzes, and addresses the impact of artificial intelligence technologies across various domains of political science.
Al-Zahouri noted that the journal serves as an open scientific platform for critical and forward-looking research that links technological developments with political theory. He explained that the journal aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and raise fundamental questions about how artificial intelligence can be harnessed to advance political science and support international relations.
