The Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing (AIHC) provides output for new research into new principes and methods of Artificial Intelligence that is context aware, self-adaptive, transparent and can show human treats towards the future of General Intelligence. The Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing (AIHC) serves as a platform for disseminating cutting-edge research on emerging principles and methodologies in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The journal focuses on AI systems that are context-aware, self-adaptive, and transparent, while also exhibiting human-like traits that contribute to the evolution of General Intelligence. By publishing innovative studies, theoretical advancements, and practical applications, AIHC aims to bridge the gap between artificial and human intelligence, fostering the development of AI that can seamlessly integrate into real-world environments and enhance human-machine interactions. The journal welcomes contributions that explore novel AI paradigms, interdisciplinary approaches, and forward-thinking strategies for creating intelligent systems capable of understanding, learning, and adapting to dynamic contexts in a manner that aligns with human cognition and behaviour. Articles submitted to the Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing (AIHC) need to fall within the four main areas of the scope (listed below): • Investigation into human-centric AI methodologies prioritizing explainability, transparency, fairness, and human-in-the-loop oversight.• Advancement of foundation models and artificial general intelligence (AGI) demonstrating emergent capabilities analogous to human intelligence.• Design and implementation of synergistic human-AI collaborative frameworks and integrated system architectures.• Development of ethical AI methodologies grounded in human contexts and values. Articles published in the Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing (AIHC) support United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Responsible consumption and production (SDG 12) Decent work and economic growth (SDG 8) Climate action (SDG 13)
