All things being equal, I’d recommend you publish in journals that are prestigious in your particular field (though it might not be worth the effort). In international relations / political science (which I know best) that might be e.g.: International Organization, International Security, American Journal of Political Science, PNAS.
Other journals that are less prestigious but more likely to be keen on AI governance work include: Nature Machine Intelligence, Global Policy, Journal of AI Research, AI & Society. There are also a number of conferences to consider: AIES, FAccT, workshops at big ML conferences like NeurIPS or ICML. Another thing to look out for is journals with AI governance/policy special issues.
I find that one good strategy for finding a suitable journal is looking for articles similar to what you want to publish and seeing where they’ve been published. You can then e.g. refer to those in your letter to the editors, highlighting how your work is relevant to their interests.
Other journals (depending on the field) could include Journal of Strategic Studies, Contemporary Security Policy, Yale Journal of Law & Technology, Minds & Machines, AI & Ethics, ‘Law, Innovation and Technology’, Science and Engineering Ethics, Foresight, …
As Markus mentions, there are also sometimes good disciplinary journals that have special issue collections on technology—those can be opportunities to get it into high-profile journals even if they are usually more aversive to tech-focused pieces (e.g. I got a piece into Melbourne Journal of International Law); though it really depends what audiences you’re trying to reach / position your work into.

strong +1 to everything Markus suggests here.
