In an era where algorithms write headlines, moderate speech, and even draft laws, the power of language has shifted—subtly but profoundly. We are witnessing a transformation in how authority is produced, distributed, and perceived. At the core of this shift lies not just technology, but discourse itself.

AI & Power Discourse Quarterly was founded to confront this reality head-on. We are not merely another AI journal. Our mission is to explore how language models, algorithmic structures, and computational systems construct authority—grammatically, semantically, politically.

What We Do

We publish original research, theoretical reflections, and critical case studies that explore:

How algorithmic language shapes norms, decisions, and legitimacy
The syntactic and semantic patterns that underpin machine-generated discourse
The interplay between institutional power and computational systems
How AI mimics, reinforces, or subverts traditional epistemic authority

This is a journal for researchers, thinkers, and critics who understand that form is not neutral, and that language is power—even when written by a machine.

Why This Matters Now

Discourse is no longer purely human. Our laws, academic policies, and social interactions are increasingly shaped by systems whose output feels objective, but isn’t. These systems simulate credibility through linguistic form—passive voice, modality, formal register—without accountability. That is not just a technical challenge. It’s a political one.

We believe that to understand AI, we must interrogate its language. And to interrogate its language, we must draw from linguistics, philosophy, history, computer science, and discourse analysis—together.

Join Us

This is not a closed club. We welcome researchers from all disciplines. If you’ve studied synthetic neutrality, algorithmic bias, grammatical framing, automated narrative authority, or related fields, we invite you to submit your work.
