Call for Chapters: Encyclopedia of Modern Artificial Intelligence, Second Edition

Building upon the foundation established in the first edition of the Encyclopedia of Modern Artificial Intelligence, this second edition reflects the extraordinary pace at which Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved in recent years. Although AI is not a new phenomenon, unprecedented advances in algorithms, computing power, data availability, and accessibility have accelerated its adoption across virtually all scientific and professional domains. Today, AI technologies are revolutionizing industries, driving innovation, enhancing productivity, and fundamentally transforming how societies and organizations operate. As AI capabilities and applications continue to expand with remarkable speed, a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of its evolution, implications, and interdisciplinary impact is essential for effectively navigating the opportunities and challenges of an increasingly AI-driven world.

The Encyclopedia of Modern Artificial Intelligence, Second Edition serves as a timely and authoritative resource for capturing the rapidly evolving landscape of AI. Its mission is to deliver a comprehensive yet current body of knowledge that advances understanding AI concepts while highlighting the latest research, developments, and real-world application. Through peer-reviewed insights from leading experts, this encyclopedia ensures researchers and practitioners have access to up-to-date, actionable knowledge that reflects both the present state and future trajectory of AI.

Unlike traditional publishing models, which can carry a delayed release of content, this encyclopedia operates as a living reference work with a continuous publication model, publishing peer-reviewed articles immediately upon final acceptance. This ensures timely access to the most current and impactful research.

This publication includes topics ideal for a wide audience, including computer scientists, IT specialists, programmers, developers, information professionals, data scientists, security specialists, engineers, educators, business executives, legal professionals, scientists, medical professionals, managers, academicians, researchers, government officials, and upper-level students.
