Digital Humanism is young; it has evolved from an unease about the
consequences of a digitized world for human beings into an
internationally connected community that aims at developing concepts
to provide a positive and constructive response. Following up on
several successful workshops and a lecture series that bring together
authorities of the various disciplines, this book is the latest
contribution to the ongoing international discussions and
developments. It comprises a collection of 46 articles
<https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-86144-5> from
experts with different disciplinary and institutional backgrounds who
provide their view on the interplay of human and machine.

This open access textbook introduces and defines digital humanism from
a diverse range of disciplines. 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 A “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 B “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 C “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.
