We promote exchange about
the future of the digital society
How will humans and machines work together in the future? What challenges will be brought on by artificial intelligence? Where does Germany stand regarding digitalisation compared to the global competition? The digital transformation raises questions that will affect every individual as well as society as a whole.
Through the blog, the bidt provides a forum for researchers from various disciplines and experts from practice to exchange ideas on the topic of digital transformation.
