Time seems out of joint. The world society has experienced a centennial pandemic, the global thermometer has displayed a sequence of hottest years on record, and Russia's war on Ukraine has shattered political order. Unsurprisingly, the economy is severely affected. Governments worldwide hope that digital technologies can provide key solutions. Yet this report shows that digitalisation, in its current and mainstream form, is rather aggravating than solving many of the pressing social and environmental crises at hand. What is needed instead is a deep sustainability transformation.

In this book, Steffen Lange and Tilman Santarius investigate how digitalization influences environmental and social sustainability. The information revolution is currently changing the daily lives of billions of people worldwide. At the same time, the current economic model and consumerist lifestyle needs to be radically transformed if society is to overcome the challenges humanity is facing on a finite planet. Can the much-discussed disruption potential of digitalization be harnessed for this purpose?Smart Green World? provides guiding principles for a sustainable digital society and develops numerous hands-on proposals for how digitalization can be shaped to become a driving force for social transformation. For instance, the authors explain why more digitalization is needed to realize the transition towards 100% renewable energy and show how this can be achieved without sacrificing privacy. They analyze how the information revolution can transform consumption patterns, mobility habits and industry structures - instead of fostering the consumption of unneeded stuff due to personalized commercials and the acceleration of life. The authors reveal how Artificial Intelligence and the Industrial Internet of Things pose novel environmental challenges and contribute to a polarization of income; but they also demonstrate how the internet can be restored to its status as a commons, with users taking priority and society at large reaping the benefits of technological change in a most democratic way.Providing a comprehensive and practical assessment of both social and environmental opportunities and challenges of digitalization, Smart Green World ? Making Digitalization Work for Sustainability will be of great interest to all those studying the complex interrelationship of the twenty-first-century megatrends of digitalization and decarbonization.

Long description: »Alles wird sich ändern!« Dieser prophetische Ruf aus der IT-Branche ist inzwischen zur gängigen Einschätzung über die Tragweite der Digitalisierung geworden. Doch was bringt die Digitalisierung für Ökologie und Gerechtigkeit? Führt sie uns in eine smarte grüne Welt, in der alle vom technologischen Fortschritt profitieren und wir zugleich schonender mit der Umwelt umgehen? Oder steuern wir in einen digitalen Kapitalismus, in dem sich Geld und Macht auf wenige konzentrieren und die Wirtschaft noch weiter über die planetaren Grenzen hinauswächst? Steffen Lange und Tilman Santarius analysieren, wie sich die Digitalisierung bisher auf Energie- und Ressourcenverbräuche, Arbeitsplätze und Einkommensverteilung ausgewirkt hat, und entwickeln Design-Prinzipien für eine nachhaltige Digitalisierung. Damit die Digitalisierung die Welt auch wirklich smarter macht. Biographical note: Tilman Santarius leitet die Forschungsgruppe »Digitalisierung und sozial-ökologische Transformation« an der TU Berlin und dem Institut für ökologische Wirtschaftsforschung. Er ist Ko-Autor mehrerer Bücher, zuletzt von »Der Rebound-Effekt«. Steffen Lange ist Ökonom am Institut für ökologische Wirtschaftsforschung und Mitglied beim Konzeptwerk Neue Ökonomie sowie bei Common Future. Er beschäftigt sich mit dem Zusammenhang zwischen Digitalisierung, Wachstum und Ökologie.

This book is the final report on a comprehensive basic research project, named GOSLER on algorithmic learning for knowledge-based systems supported by the German Federal Ministry of Research and Technology during the years 1991 - 1994. This research effort was focused on the study of fundamental learnability problems integrating theoretical research with the development of tools and experimental investigation. The contributions by 11 participants in the GOSLER project is complemented by contributions from 23 researchers from abroad. Thus the volume provides a competent introduction to algorithmic learning theory.
