DIGITALIZATION AND US

Textbook on digital humanism with practical exercises. Digital humanism as a model for the future

A new standard work for use at upper secondary level and in adult education institutions.

This textbook presents selected focus topics of digitalization. Twelve chapters are dedicated to digital transformation, digital humanism, the history of data processing and an introduction to artificial intelligence (AI).
