Inaugural

Digital Humanism Conference 2025

Shaping our digital future

26–28 May 2025 in Vienna

The first Digital Humanism Conference will take place from 26 to 28 May 2025 in Vienna, Austria. Inspired by the Vienna Manifesto on Digital Humanism, this conference brings together leading thinkers, researchers, and innovators to critically examine the development of digital technology and to propose designs that align with human values, democratic principles, and social justice.

At the heart of digital humanism is the commitment to ensure that technology enhances our shared human rights and freedoms rather than undermining them. Over the course of three days, we will discuss ways to refocus our digital future on people and society.

This includes, above all, the design of artificial intelligence—from its societal impacts to issues of explainability, transparency, and fairness. It also encompasses the role of AI in cybersecurity. Equally important are questions about technology platforms and the future role of international technology regulation. The conference will address AI in the context of social media, democracy and journalism, as well as the critical topics of innovation and new applications.

Save the date and join us in shaping a positive digital future!
