Track / Overview

What are the effects of digitization and machine learning on society? It appears that no individual, group, institution, or process will remain unaffected but when, how, and to what degree they are transformed is subject to intense debate. This track combines two contributed presentations, highlighting the impact of optimization and the role of information commons, with two keynotes offering philosophical and sociological perspectives.
