About the Journal
The OJ-AES is a peer-reviewed, open-access platform devoted to thoughtful research on artificial intelligence, ethics, and human flourishing. We publish interdisciplinary studies that assess fairness, transparency, accountability, and the spiritual implications of emerging technologies. Drawing insights from theology, philosophy, social science, law, and computer science, the journal encourages dialogue among scholars, practitioners, and policymakers worldwide, particularly voices from underrepresented regions. Our mission is to illuminate how AI reshapes culture, work, governance, and identity, offering biblically grounded, ethically rigorous guidance that advances public understanding and responsible innovation for the common good and global Gospel-informed transformation
