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). The need to protect privacy and regulate AI is highlighted, as are the effects of data-intensive AI on people and the environment. In the context of human-centered system development based on philosophical principles, as aspired to by digital humanism, this textbook discusses recommendation systems and their influence on plurality and fairness, prejudices and bias on the web as well as the problems that can arise from algorithmic content moderation.
The textbook is available in German and can be ordered free of charge here.
