<b>Inteligência artificial na gestão editorial de periódicos científicos</b>

Introduction: the management and publishing of scientific journals, as well as any area that deals with information, is undergoing transformations and innovations due to the constant adoption of new technologies as tools for optimizing and automating human work. Objective: this article analyzes the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the editorial management of the Revista Digital de Direito Administrativo (RDDA), with an emphasis on its potential, limitations, and ethical implications. Methodology: a qualitative and exploratory approach is adopted, based on a literature review, case study, and documentary analysis of interactions with AI tools (ChatPDF). Results: the results indicate that AI can support stages such as manuscript thematic screening, reviewer assignment, and plagiarism detection, contributing to editorial efficiency. However, variations in automated responses and challenges related to algorithmic transparency, human oversight, and compliance with ethical-legal principles were observed. Conclusion: it is concluded that the responsible adoption of AI, combined with appropriate regulation and editorial team training, can strengthen scientific governance and improve the quality of legal publications.
