Verso un nuovo umanesimo digitale

Abstract

Digital technologies are producing disruptive changes in human beings and all aspects of human society. They generated a paradigm change, perhaps with even deeper effects than those generated by past scientific revolutions. While they offer unprecedented chances to develop a better future for humankind, they also raise serious concerns about possible unprecedented risks. This article is an attempt to clarify why we are presently at this crucial crossroads and calls for moving along a new perspective where technology is at service of humankind: the perspective a new digital humanism.
