As the machine slices away portions of human capabilities, are we left with a kernel of humanity, an indivisible piece that can no longer be divided into parts? Or does the human disappear altogether? If we are left with something, then that uncuttable piece, a form of atomic human, would tell us something about our human spirit.

@index so depressing to see how ignorant about, and beholden to tech companies our ministers and departments are. We are a laughing stock. Our toothless approach to enforcement on behalf of our fellow 500 million Europeans, in favour of placating the disgusting tech-bros is embarrassing. Actually embarrassing. I've had to sit in meetings and listen to us being mocked and I have zero defense to make. Zero.

This is ridiculously easy Ireland. Do better.

I dream of a space where technology magnifies small, faint, quiet voices equally —
where links reach the right people.

A place to say:
“Hello, I’m moved by your idea. Shall we talk?”

It may never cover the whole web,
but it can grow around those who wish for it.

Where are you?

How can I reach you?

You’re quiet online,
but thoughtful offline.

I’m searching for you
through the noisy flood of the web.

Erich Prem on Ethical and Philosophical Foundations of Digital Humanism

Sanja is heavily invested in AI/AGI safety and ethical, inclusive software engineering, the Digital Humanism Conference #DigHum2025 truly delivered!
I went in with curiosity and came out with not one, but two notebooks full of notes, quotes, and ideas. From AI and platform power to democracy and digital rights, the discussions were as rich as they were urgent.

I tried to capture some highlights, reflections, and memorable moments in this blog post for ICT4D.at:

👉 https://www.ict4d.at/2025/06/digital-humanism-conference-2025/

There was so much more than I could fit into one post – but if you were there (or just curious about DigitalHumanism), I’d love to hear what resonated with you.

How about we try to enforce some kind of ‘Polarization Tax’?

Concept was mentioned during keynote on ‘AI and democracy’ by Lawrence Lessig (@lessig) and Moshe Vardi ( @vardi) at this event:

At the Digital Humanism Conference in Vienna, reflecting on how tech must serve democracy, fairness, and human rights. The Vienna Manifesto on Digital Humanism should always be taken in account for everyone for a bold step toward responsible digital futures. #DigitalHumanism #TechForGood #Dighum2025

Conference: The Art Museum in the Digital Age - 2025
📅 20–24 Jan 2025 (Online/Hybrid)
📍Zoom & Belvedere 21, Vienna

Focus: Ethical and societal implications of digital transformation in museums, exploring digital humanism, AI, data spaces, visitor research, and more. Includes workshops and a hybrid panel discussion.

@emchateau Attention! The "Digital Humanism" distinguishes itself explicitly from what is usually known as "Digital Humanities" (and, I assume, its French equivalent "Humanités numériques"). Probably a translation into "Humanism numérique" might be closer to the interests of the Vienna Manifesto? #DigitalHumanism

Exciting Symposium at #caiml #tuwien on "The Secret Ingredients for Improving Artificial Intelligence"... Looking forward to some inspiring talks! https://caiml.dbai.tuwien.ac.at/news/47/ #artificialintelligence #digitalhumanism ...

(4/6) In recent years, we have thought a great deal about #DigitalHumanism; it is time now to think about a form of #DigitalSocialism, meaning a “commonwealth”, a “social contract” with which we can overcome the profound, wide-ranging changes of the digital age, and even more, the globally collective consequences of #climatechange.

On Nov. 18 Fariba Karimi and colleagues from @CSHVienna brainstormed "The roadmap of Digital Humanism and Complexity Science"

- How could data-driven & theory-driven
complexity science contribute to DH?

- What are the opportunities & challenges?
