Introduction to Digital Humanism: A Textbook
暫譯: 數位人文學導論：教科書

這本開放存取的教科書從多元的學科介紹並定義數位人文主義。根據2019年維也納宣言，這本書呼籲一種數位人文主義，描述、分析，並最重要的是，影響科技與人類之間的複雜互動，以促進更美好的社會與生活，充分尊重普世人權。

本書分為三個部分：A部分「背景」提供理解數位人文主義所需的多學科背景，涵蓋其哲學、文化、技術、歷史、社會和經濟層面。目標是呈現建立有效的數位人文主義跨學科對話所需的知識。B部分「數位人文主義 - 系統觀點」專注於當前數位系統中出現的主要數位人文主義問題的深入介紹和討論。這部分的目標是讓讀者意識到並敏感於這些問題，包括例如AI系統的控制與自主性、隱私與安全，以及治理的角色。C部分「數位系統的批判與社會議題」深入探討數位技術進步所引發的批判性社會議題。雖然過去的公共辯論常常將這些問題分開討論，特別是在它們透過轟動事件變得可見時，但這裡的目標是揭示整體景觀並展示它們之間的相互關係。這包括AI與倫理、公平與偏見、隱私與監控、平台權力與民主等議題。

這本教科書旨在為對數位人文主義感興趣的學生、教師和政策制定者提供資源。它設計為獨立課程和計算機科學的補充課程，或科學、工程、人文和社會科學的課程。每章包括學生問題和註解閱讀清單，以便深入探討相關章節材料。這本書旨在讓讀者盡可能廣泛地接觸數位進步及其對人類的影響。它包含建設性的想法和方法，旨在確保我們共同的數位未來是通過人類的行動來決定的。
