The JLMI Call for papers, Issue no. 2/2026, has been published and it is devoted to "Governing AI and Digital General-Purpose Technologies: Balancing Innovation, Competition, and Rights in the Digital Economy".
This issue will be edited by the Editors-in-Chief of the JLMI (Cristina Poncibò and Riccardo de Caria) along with Caroline Cauffman and Kalpana Tyagi as guest co-editors.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a digital general-purpose technology (GPT), comparable in systemic importance to electricity or information and communication technologies. Its widespread adoption, capacity for ongoing enhancement, and role in fostering complementary innovations are already transforming economies, governance, and social structures. These changes raise significant legal and regulatory questions. This special issue aims to bring together scholars from law, economics, and related fields to explore how to govern AI as a GPT. Contributions may take doctrinal, normative, or interdisciplinary approaches.
Prospective articles should be submitted in the form of abstracts (around 800 words) or draft articles to submissions.jlmi@iuse.it by 25 November 2025. Authors will be notified of the outcome of their submission by 10 December 2025.
