SUMMARY:4th Workshop on Digital Humanism - Towards a Research and Innovation Roadmap
DESCRIPTION:Digital Humanism aims to ensure that the development of digital technologies focuses on human needs and interests. Following the Vienna Manifesto on Digital Humanism\, this workshop will take the initiative one step further towards realizing the vision. While many of the challenges of our digital age have become evident\, the solutions to overcoming them are not. Digital technologies are still disrupting our society and putting in question decade-long achievements of democracy\, humanism\, and the age of Enlightenment. The workshop will address how to advance digital technologies towards realizing inclusion and democratic societies. \nThe workshop will be held as a hybrid event\, on-site at the TU Wien and online. Due to the increasingly dramatic Covid situation and limitations of in-person contacts\, general audience attendance on-site will not be permitted. We ask all parties interested to join the workshop online via Zoom (Password: 0dzqxqiy)\, Youtube Stream\, or\, for the morning sessions\, via the Digital Humanism portal of our media partner Wiener Zeitung.

SUMMARY:Doug Hohulin\, "People-Centered Metaverse"
DESCRIPTION:Greetings People Centered Internet (PCI) Community members: \nOur next PCI Community call will be Sunday 13 February at 11:30 AM ET GMT-5 featuring Doug Hohulin\, a regular participant on our calls. He will share: \n  \n“Creating a People-Centered Metaverse of Abundance and Opportunity for All” \n  \nDoug will provide a short overview of what is the Metaverse and how to prepare for the changes in our world that are about to take place – and insight on how to create a positive people-centered metaverse for all. The Metaverse/XR/Spatial Web 3/Web 3D is going to be as disruptive to our world in the late 2020s as smartphones were in the 2010s and cell phones & PCs in the 2000s. \n  \nToday businesses and educators are struggling with Teams & Zoom meetings and XR is difficult to use.  But in the next three to five years\, metaverse technology could be as easy to use as a smartphone.  In 10 years\, smartglasses will replace the smartphone for a fully immersive experience that is indistinguishable from the physical world.   \nRather than a world of Hyper-Reality\, Doug is working to create a world of Consonance-Reality\, a world of calmness when needed yet a world of learning\, connecting\, information\, entertainment\, excitement\, and joy when desired (preview: youtube.com/watch?v=YJg02ivYzSs). \n  \nDoug is a Metaverse – XR – Web 3D Technology & Innovation Advisor focusing on healthcare\, education\, AV/transportation and 5G/6G projects. He worked at Nokia/Motorola for 33 years connecting people to the people\, information and things they value.  Doug worked as a Government Technology & Innovation Advisor to Aspen Institute fellow to create a policy memo for the Chief Innovation Officer at the Department of Labor that addresses XR in industry and is focusing on how the Metaverse will impact the future of work.  From 1G to 5G and even 6G\, XR/Metaverse\, AV\, AI\, Telepresence\, Distance Learning\, Telemedicine\, Smart City & Digital Health projects\, Doug focuses on strategy and business development for a more abundant and sustainable world for all.  Doug is working to connect the unconnected\, the elimination of the 1.35M road traffic deaths and to increase the digital economy & reduce the physical economy to minimize humanity’s carbon footprint.  He is part of the KC Health Innovation Team kcdigitaldrive.org/project/health-innovation-team/\, KC & TxDOT AV Task Forces\, Kansas University Cybersecurity Board\, University of Central Missouri (UCM) Gigabit Lab Advisory Board and a High School VR Hackathon Mentor and girlsteaminstitute.org/  Mentor.  He co-leads the KU school of Nursing AR/AR Animating Medical Manikin Team project that won 1st Prize in the AR/VR Hackathon to use XR to lower the cost of existing $30K-$200K Manikins Solutions. This team is building a coalition of Nursing schools in the KC metro areas to deploy 5G/XR technology for medical simulation and other applications. \nDoug has spoken on 5G\, 6G\, Metaverse/XR\, AI\, AV\, future of work & Cybersecurity to K-12\, University Students\, Customers\, Partners\, Government\, IEEE and other groups.

SUMMARY:Digital Humanism Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:About the Series \nDigital humanism deals with the complex relationship between man and machine. It acknowledges the potential of Informatics and IT. At the same time\, it points to related apparent threats such as privacy violations\, ethical concerns with AI\, automation\, and loss of jobs\, and the ongoing monopolization on the Web. The Corona crisis has shown these two faces of the accelerated digitalization—we are in a crucial moment in time. \nFor this reason\, we started a new initiative—DIGHUM lectures—with regular online events to discuss the different aspects of Digital Humanism. We will have one or more speakers on a specific topic followed by a discussion\, or panel discussions\, depending on topic and speakers. The exact dates will be announced in our schedule at least two weeks before. \nThis crisis does seriously affect our mobility\, but it also offers the possibility to participate in events from all over the world—let’s take this chance to meet virtually. \nAccess \nTo access the Zoom conference\, click here (Password: 0dzqxqiy). All talks will also be streamed and recorded on the Digital Humanism YouTube channel. \nProgram

The Lab closely follows the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) definition of QoL (WHOQOL) with its four domains (physical\, psychological\, social\, and environmental) and 26 contributing facets. I present state-of-the-art in the domain and draw future scenarios for these technologies. I want to sparkle a discussion on what Quality of Life domain/facet you care for and how we can measure it longitudinally? \nKatarzyna Wac Bio \nProf. Katarzyna Wac is the leader of the Quality of Life (QoL) technologies research area affiliated with the Geneva School of Economics (GSEM)\, Center for Informatics at University of Geneva (CUI\, Switzerland)\, and\, since 2015 – also with the Department of Computer Science (DIKU) of University of Copenhagen (Denmark).

SUMMARY:Digital Humanism Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Antonio Casilli (School of telecommunications engineering | Polytechnic Institute of Paris)\nModerator: Enrico Nardelli (University of Roma ‘Tor Vergata’\, Italy) \n(Sociologist\, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Casilli): \nWhat is a ‘Truly Ethical’ Artificial Intelligence? An end-to-end approach to responsible and humane technological systems \n  \nAbout the Series \nDigital humanism deals with the complex relationship between man and machine. It acknowledges the potential of Informatics and IT. At the same time\, it points to related apparent threats such as privacy violations\, ethical concerns with AI\, automation\, and loss of jobs\, and the ongoing monopolization on the Web. The Corona crisis has shown these two faces of the accelerated digitalization—we are in a crucial moment in time. \nFor this reason\, we started a new initiative—DIGHUM lectures—with regular online events to discuss the different aspects of Digital Humanism. We will have one or more speakers on a specific topic followed by a discussion\, or panel discussions\, depending on topic and speakers. The exact dates will be announced in our schedule at least two weeks before. \nThis crisis does seriously affect our mobility\, but it also offers the possibility to participate in events from all over the world—let’s take this chance to meet virtually. \nAccess \nTo access the Zoom conference\, click here (Password: 0dzqxqiy). All talks will also be streamed and recorded on the Digital Humanism YouTube channel.
