MORE DIGITAL enables MORE HUMANITY

Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a thing of the future. It has long since arrived in the present. Many hesitate to face this fact. Others associate AI with the threat of job loss or the dominance of technologies. AI is highly effective. It would be a mistake to underestimate it. Rather, it is important to sensibly utilize the opportunities that Artificial Intelligence offers and to secure the associated risks as best as possible. Digital Humanism In the discussion about the responsibility Albert Einstein bears for the atomic bomb, Werner Heisenberg said: "Ideas are not responsible for what people make of them." One thing is clear: the more powerful the tool, the greater our responsibility when using it. The ethical evaluation of AI tools is of central importance for our society. Digital Humanism integrates the essence of human values and ethical principles into technological development. In a time when Artificial Intelligence and algorithms increasingly shape our daily lives, it is crucial to focus on human well-being. Digital Humanism urges us to design technology in a way that promotes our humanity, strengthens social justice, and respects our freedom and privacy. It reminds us that progress lies not only in the efficiency and functionality of machines, but in creating a world where technology serves humanity and not vice versa. The future of a livable, inclusive, and fair society lies in this balance between innovation and ethics. This goal is also pursued by the EU Parliament's EU AI Act. Industry 5.0 In the currently prevailing Industry 4.0, the focus is on increasing efficiency. Industry 5.0 represents the next stage in the evolution of our industrial landscape by placing human creativity and competence at the center of technological advances. Unlike its predecessor, which focused on automation and efficiency, Industry 5.0 emphasizes collaboration between humans and machines. In a time where individual needs and customized solutions are becoming increasingly important, this symbiosis enables personalized production while promoting sustainable and resource-efficient practices. Through the rapid implementation of Industry 5.0, we can not only enhance the innovative strength and competitiveness of our economy, but also create jobs that are more fulfilling and secure. This fosters an economy that meets the demands of digital transformation while fully harnessing and respecting human potential. Superiority of Artificial Intelligence? Bianca Thomas wrote and brilliantly directed her diploma production, the final project of her directing studies at the renowned Max Reinhardt Seminar, "K.I. and Abel," in interaction with Artificial Intelligence. She chose the title of her play in reference to Cain and Abel. Who will prevail? Will we maintain control over AI or will we be enslaved by AI? I believe it is up to us, as a society, how we deal with Artificial Intelligence. I am convinced that it takes a lot of human intelligence to shape the INTERACTION between Artificial Intelligence and human qualities. More digital for more human The use of Artificial Intelligence saves us a lot of time. The socially relevant question is how we manage this gained time. Norbert Wiener, the founder of cybernetics, said: "I do not want to say that it is impossible to give the machine intuitive abilities, but it would simply be uneconomical to apply them to something that humans can do much better." What we humans can do much better in any case are genuine human relationships in our professional and personal lives.
