Introduction

Digital technologies—especially Free Software and Open-Source AI—offer transformative potential for democratizing knowledge in the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS). This special issue explores how open digital commons can foster epistemic justice, bridge linguistic divides, and empower diverse knowledge systems through collaborative approaches. We invite global perspectives on ethical AI integration in education and research.

    Governance models for inclusive knowledge sharing: Protecting cultural sovereignty in open-source ecosystems.
  2. AI for Linguistic Justice & Language Teaching
    Co-developing NLP/OCR tools for marginalized languages; AI applications in language preservation and pedagogy.
  3. Decolonizing Technology in Education
    Integrating open-source AI tools in HSS curricula: critical digital literacy for hermeneutic scholars.
  4. Ethical AI Development & Auditing
    Detecting algorithmic biases; designing culturally responsive interfaces for global contexts.
  5. Inclusive Research Infrastructures
    Sustainable platforms for cross-cultural collaboration; strengthening South-South knowledge networks.
  6. Participatory Knowledge Creation
    Co-designing digital tools with communities; equitable integration of academic and local knowledge.
  7. AI's Societal Impact in HSS
    Ethical frameworks for dematerialized scholarship; technology's role in epistemic equity.
