This textbook presents selected key topics on digitalisation. Twelve chapters cover subjects such as digital transformation, digital humanism, the history of data processing, and an introduction to artificial intelligence (AI). It highlights the need to protect privacy and regulate AI, as well as the impact of data-intensive AI on people and the environment.
Against the backdrop of human-centered system development based on philosophical principles— as pursued by digital humanism— this textbook discusses recommendation systems and their influence on plurality and fairness, biases and prejudices on the web, and the challenges that arise from algorithmic content moderation.
