Humanism in the information age.
Technological advancement has accelerated relentlessly, particularly since the advent of the web and consumer artificial intelligence. Today, we must discuss humanism in the information age.
New architects of the information age.
We redefine computer designers, scientists and engineers as new architects of the information age.
The computer is a ‘machine that we live in and with’. It is both an entity and an environment, and it’s the architect’s role to design and engineer artefacts based on humanism.
Co-design of behaviour and technology.
It is our duty to question and understand humanism and technology, redefining ‘environment’ to also encompass information and cognitive spaces.
Data becomes information when interpreted by humans, and we design that relationship with computers.
Computers serve and affect human: behaviour, thinking, cognition, sense, habits, relationships, playing, learning, working, loving, and living.
We must co-design behaviour and technology to build the future.
We stand at a pivotal moment:
What’s the essence of humanism?
What kind of life do humans envision?
How can we realise it with computers?
