Aim and Scope
Tamil Journal of Artificial Intelligence (TJAI) is a bi-annual, open-access journal. This journal aims to introduce modern advancements in Artificial Intelligence and its prospective research to the Tamil language. To inform the Tamil community about the progress of AI technology and its future scope, we welcome articles and translations related to AI and its future studies in Tamil. The journal's objective is to receive and translate articles written in Tamil across various domains. Specifically, it was created to ensure the preservation of temple arts, museums, Tamil Nadu-related excavations, inscriptions, copper plates, and palm leaf artifacts through artificial intelligence (AI). Furthermore, it investigates AI in Tamil computing, computational linguistics, AI in Tamil Natural Language Processing (NLP), AI in Tamil speech recognition, AI in patenting and teaching, Tamil-based AI engineering, AI in Tamil machine translation, AI in public policy, AI in public safety, AI in child protection, AI for the protection of women, transgender individuals, and tribal communities, coastal security, AI for tracking other living organisms, AI in defence, AI in ethics, AI in earth sciences, AI in environmental protection, AI in marine conservation, AI in space research, and AI across all life-related fields. Furthermore, the journal intends to foster research and understanding globally, centred on innovation and Tamil language-based coding systems. The journal publishes scholarly works from academics, researchers, educators, independent scholars, and research students who engage critically with Artificial Intelligence and its applications. TJAI follows recognised international publication ethics and editorial practices inspired by the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), open-access scholarly communication standards, and transparent editorial evaluation procedures.
