Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Science Communication (JAISC) aims to provide an international academic exchange platform for interdisciplinary research at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and science communication. It is dedicated to advancing the theoretical and applied development of AI in areas such as the visualization of scientific research outcomes, public science education, the interpretation of research data, and the efficiency of science popularization communication.

Beyond Automation: Pedagogical Strategies for Meaningful Human-AI Collaboration in the Classroom

This article examines how generative artificial intelligence can be integrated into teaching without reducing learning to automated answer production. Rather than treating AI adoption as a purely technical question, the paper argues that the central pedagogical challenge is how to preserve human judgment, metacognitive effort, and disciplinary understanding when students can now generate plausible outputs in seconds. Building on the original manuscript's distinction between automation and augmentation, the revised version strengthens the argument by anchoring the problem in concrete classroom pain points, especially writing-intensive and feedback-heavy courses where students' use of AI often outpaces institutional policy. It synthesizes recent scholarship on hybrid intelligence, self-regulated learning, teacher-AI collaboration, assessment redesign, and academic integrity, while also identifying limitations in current frameworks, including weak subject-specific guidance, limited long-term evidence, and insufficient attention to equity and cultural context. In response, the paper clarifies the rationale for the COLLABORATE framework and explains how its ten principles work together to make AI use visible, bounded, and pedagogically productive. The framework is presented as a conceptual, evidence-informed design model rather than as an empirically validated intervention. The paper concludes by outlining practical implementation pathways, ethical safeguards, and a concrete research agenda for testing which forms of human-AI collaboration best support student learning, process transparency, and foundational skill retention.

AI and Robotics in Mechanical Engineering: Public Narratives, Acceptance Frameworks, and Science Communication for Human-Robot Collaboration

The rapid deployment of AI-powered collaborative robots (cobots) in industrial manufacturing settings has created a growing mismatch between technological capability and public willingness to accept these systems. Despite significant technical advances, robot-related fear, cultural resistance, and poor science communication continue to hinder adoption across major industrial economies. This review synthesises evidence from 86 peer-reviewed sources (2016–2025) across four areas: media framing and public narratives; technology acceptance frameworks (TAM, HRCAM, and the Uncanny Valley effect); cross-national empirical findings from Germany, Japan, China, South Korea, the USA, and the UK; and practical science communication strategies. We find that robot-related fear affects 29–52% of national populations depending on cultural and institutional context; that hands-on and immersive exposure consistently outperforms informational campaigns in reducing anxiety; that existing acceptance models underestimate emotional, safety, and psychological barriers to cobot adoption; and that no single communication strategy succeeds uniformly across cultural settings. Key findings indicate that worker participation in deployment processes, transparent employment communication, explainable AI interfaces, and culturally adapted messaging each independently improve acceptance outcomes. The review further demonstrates that media framing—predominantly dystopian in Western contexts—shapes worker attitudes prior to any formal introduction programme. Four research gaps are identified: the absence of industrial-context science communication studies, underrepresentation of the Global South, the lack of longitudinal data, and underdeveloped use of immersive technologies. Directions for future work are proposed.
