This special issue seeks to explore how rural communities and organizations are using, rejecting, and/or mitigating the risks of AI. We invite papers that move beyond "techno-optimism" to investigate how rural communities exercise agency—the ability to govern, audit, and co-design the intelligent systems that increasingly mediate their environments.

On October 1, 2004, the first issue of The Journal of Community Informatics was published. It has since remained a free and open access, double-blind peer review journal featuring academic research and practitioner contributions at the intersection of CI research, practice, and policy. A wide range of submissions have been welcome, including research articles, notes from the field, points of view, reports, case studies, and more. As a way to celebrate the past 20 years of the journal, and to open up new avenues for participation, we invite original submissions in these traditional formats, as well as new formats including artistic works such as poetry, audio/video recordings, and visual artwork.
