Synthese Special Issue on Decision Theory and the Future of Artificial 
Intelligence

Guest Editors:

Special Issue Description:

There is increasing interest in the challenges of ensuring that the 
long-term development of artificial intelligence (AI) is safe and 
beneficial. Moreover, despite different perspectives, there is much common 
ground between mathematical and philosophical decision theory, on the one 
hand, and AI, on the other. The aim of the special issue is to explore 
links and joint research at the nexus between decision theory and AI, 
broadly construed.

We welcome submissions of individual papers covering topics in philosophy, 
artificial intelligence and cognitive science that involve decision making 
including, but not limited to, subjects on

causality

decision making with bounded resources

foundations of probability theory

philosophy of machine learning

philosophical and mathematical decision/game theory

Submissions: Contributions must be original and not under review 
elsewhere. Although there is no prescribed word or page limit for 
submissions to Synthese, as a rule of thumb, papers typically tend to be 
between 15 and 30 printed pages (in the journal's printed format). 
Submissions should also include a separate title page containing the 
contact details of the author(s), an abstract (150-250 words) and a list 
of 4-6 keywords. All papers will be subject to the journal?s standard 
double-blind peer-review.

Manuscripts should be submitted online through Editorial Manager 
(https://www.editorialmanager.com/synt 
<https://www.editorialmanager.com/synt>). Please choose the appropriate 
article type for your submission by selecting "S.I. : DecTheory&FutOfAI? 
from the relevant drop down menu.

Deadline: The deadline for submissions is February 15, 2018. For further
