About the Book

Textbook on digital humanism with practical exercises.

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.

Originally published in German, the book has since been translated into English, Dutch, and Italian.
