Following the 2019 Vienna Manifesto, the book calls for a digital humanism that describes, analyzes, and, most importantly, influences the complex interplay of technology and humankind, for a better society and life, fully respecting universal human rights. The book is organized in three parts: Part I “Background” provides the multidisciplinary background needed to understand digital humanism in its philosophical, cultural, technological, historical, social, and economic dimensions. The goal is to present the necessary knowledge upon which an effective interdisciplinary discourse on digital humanism can be founded. Part II “Digital Humanism – a System’s View” focuses on an in-depth presentation and discussion of the main digital humanism concerns arising in current digital systems. The goal of this part is to make readers aware and sensitive to these issues, including e.g. the control and autonomy of AI systems, privacy and security, and the role of governance. Part III “Critical and Societal Issues of Digital Systems” delves into critical societal issues raised by advances of digital technologies. While the public debate in the past has often focused on them separately, especially when they became visible through sensational events the aim here is to shed light on the entire landscape and show their interconnected relationships. This includes issues such as AI and ethics, fairness and bias, privacy and surveillance, platform power and democracy. This textbook is intended for students, teachers, and policy makers interested in digital humanism. It is designed for stand-alone and for complementary courses in computer science, or curricula in science, engineering, humanities and social sciences. Each chapter includes questions for students and an annotated reading list to dive deeper into the associated chapter material. The book aims to provide readers with as wide an exposure as possible to digital advances and their consequences for humanity. It includes constructive ideas and approaches that seek to ensure that our collective digital future is determined through human agency. 2024-02-13T16:11:27Z 2024-02-13T16:11:27Z 2024 book ONIX_20240213_9783031453045_7 9783031453045 9783031453038 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87619 eng application/pdf n/a 978-3-031-45304-5.pdf https://link.springer.com/978-3-031-45304-5 Springer Nature Springer Nature Switzerland 10.1007/978-3-031-45304-5 10.1007/978-3-031-45304-5 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 a330597c-629d-4878-ad51-528fe33e0d44 9783031453045 9783031453038 Springer Nature Switzerland 637 Cham [...] open access
