The central question here is how to place the human being at the heart of the digital age and the age of artificial intelligence.
It is fascinating to observe how Austria 🇦🇹 has, for several years now, been trying to claim a very particular place in the world. Not like Silicon Valley, which became a symbol of technological breakthroughs, AI, startups, and the new digital economy. And not like Oxford, which for centuries has remained one of the great symbols of philosophical thought.
Austria, it seems, wants to become one of the centers of the conversation about the human being in the age of artificial intelligence.
This is very close to my own work. Because the central question today is not only how powerful AI systems will become. The deeper question is what will happen to the human being as we increasingly delegate thinking, creativity, choice, and decision-making to machines.
Will artificial intelligence strengthen the human being?
Or will it gradually train us to give up our independence, inner strength, and authorship?
It is one thing to loudly declare the ambition to become a leader in such a field. It is quite another to truly live up to that ambition.
So I am looking forward to seeing how these two days unfold. The program is intense: human and artificial minds, the future of intelligence, freedom of speech, AI and the end of the open web, personal power, digital commons, and much more.
If my expectations are met, I am seriously considering joining this community — Digital Humanism.
