Vol. 2 No. 1 (2026): Artificial Intelligence, Digital Culture, and the Future of Human Society

Issue 2(1) of the Journal of Humanities and Sociocultural Studies (2026) addresses the theme Artificial Intelligence, Digital Culture, and the Future of Human Society as a critical response to the rapid acceleration of intelligent technologies that increasingly reshape how humans think, interact, work, and construct social meaning. This issue approaches artificial intelligence not merely as a technological artifact, but as a cultural and sociotechnical phenomenon intertwined with power relations, ethics, identity, creativity, and the evolving conditions of humanity in the digital age. Through interdisciplinary perspectives in the humanities and sociocultural studies, the contributions in this issue examine the opportunities, tensions, and risks arising from the integration of AI into everyday life, while offering critical reflections on the future of human society amid increasingly complex and non-linear digital transformations.
