\n\t\tCompendium: Making sense of the digital society\n\t<\/h1>\n\t

This compendium provides a collection of current research on digitisation and society. It is based on the lecture series Making sense of the digital society<\/a>, which was launched in 2017 in collaboration with the Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb). The compendium is divided into seven clusters, each dedicated to a specific topic such as AI and algorithms or platform governance, providing insight into the diverse content of digitisation. For each cluster, video recordings of the individual lectures from the lecture series are available. In addition, there are corresponding podcasts for each cluster, contextualising the topic with excerpts from the lectures as well as additional explanations and background discussions. Further materials such as blog posts or journal articles, originating from the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (such as from the publication series Concepts of the digital society<\/a>), deepen the understanding of current discourses on digital transformation.<\/p>\n

The content is aimed at anyone interested in the diverse phenomena of digitisation. It can also be used in educational contexts such as schools and adult education.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tDigital society\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

The digitalisation of our world is bringing about a multitude of changes in our society: From the way we handle data to our social system to our economic and social order. What do these developments mean for fundamental principles such as equality and fairness?\u00a0 How can we understand the use of technologies that are becoming increasingly efficient but less accessible?<\/p>\n

\n\t\tDigital pasts and digital futures\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

In order to understand the impact of digitalisation on our society, it helps to look to the past to understand the development of digitalisation and digitisation as part of cultural history. At the same time, by considering future scenarios, we can recognize our current responsibility for helping to shape the digital society.<\/p>\n
