englischOur beautiful, new digital world has a come at a price, which we are paying by relinquishing our personal data–while we are shopping, driving our cars, and chatting and surfing on the Internet. However, the intelligent algorithms needed to process this data pose a threat to freedom in our society. They analyse and evaluate us, while predicting our behaviour. Big data and data mining are the business models of the future.

What does all this mean for politics, the economy, journalism and political communication? Do we have to defend basic human rights and human dignity against the digital revolution? Do we need new laws and a code of ethics for algorithms? And how will politics, the media and democracy function under these new conditions?

In this book, experts from a variety of academic fields, journalism and politics discuss these questions in terms of the future and society.

With contributions byJohanna Haberer, Yvonne Hofstetter, Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, Klaus Mainzer, Daniel Moßbrucker, Peter Schaar, Michael Schröder, Axel Schwanebeck and Thomas Zeilinger
