About

Mission Statement

The Journal of Young Innovators aims to cultivate a global community of young scholars exploring the impacts of artificial intelligence and innovation across disciplines—including, but not limited to, healthcare, ethics, humanities, business, science and technology, policy, law, and security—through research and interdisciplinary collaboration in a student-led, editorial board–reviewed scientific journal.

Aims and Scope

The Journal of Young Innovators (JYI) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal that publishes original research articles, literature reviews, and structured interview features authored by high school and college students.

JYI's scope spans the impact of artificial intelligence and innovation across disciplines, including — but not limited to — healthcare, ethics, humanities, business, science and technology, policy, law, and security. We welcome interdisciplinary work that engages with the social, ethical, technical, or policy dimensions of emerging technologies.

About Us

It all began with a vision: we want to prepare the next generation to lead in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. As AI accelerates change across every industry and reshapes the very fabric of society, the future belongs to those who understand it, question it, and build it with purpose.

We saw in today’s youth what the AI field needs: bold curiosity, ethical sensitivity, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Yet, far too often, their voices remain unheard, simply because of a lack of meaningful platforms to engage in real-world innovation.

Born from a deep belief in intellectual empowerment and the transformative power of research, our platform equips high school students to explore the frontiers of AI, innovation and its societal impact. We provide mentorship, tools, platform and a global community for purpose-driven learning for high school and college students.

The future of AI and the future of humanity depend on how we cultivate the next generation of thinkers, builders, and researchers.
