relationship between artificial intelligence and humour from a
humanistic or social-scientific perspective. Relevant topics include,
but are not limited to:

- Cultural, social, or ethical implications of AI-generated humour
- Humour as a test for artificial general intelligence
- Semiotics of humour in human–AI interactions
- The "funny robot" trope in film and literature

- Cross-cultural challenges in computational humour recognition or
   production
- Ethnographies of AI and humour in real-world settings
- Evaluations of the use of AI in comedy writing or performance

- Philosophical or epistemological perspectives on humour and AI
- Educational applications of humour-aware AI

Transdisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and multidisciplinary approaches
are welcome. Papers jointly authored by researchers in computer
science and the social sciences or humanities are particularly
encouraged.

The special issue will print full-length original research articles
(6,000 to 10,000 words), as well as shorter commentary pieces (3,000
