E-book Digital Humanism : For a Human Transformation of Democracy, Economy and Culture in the Digital Age
It is possible that in the distant future we will look back at human history and speak of three major disruptive technological innovations. The transition from a hunter-gatherer culture to a sedentary agrarian culture with animal husbandry in the Neolithic Age, the transition to the machine age based on fossil fuels in the nineteenth century, and finally the digital revolution of the twenty-first century: the use of artificial Intelligence1. If this is the case, we are only at the beginning of a technological revolution, similar to what Europe experienced in the first decades of the nineteenth century. And just as then, technological innovations today are accompanied by apocalyptic fears, but also by euphoric expectations.This book deals with the cultural and philosophical aspects of Artificial Intelligence and pleads for a digital humanism. Digital Humanism is technology-friendly, but also human-friendly. It sets itself apart from the apocalyptics because it trusts human reason, but it also sets itself apart from the euphorics because it respects the systematic limits of digital technology.
