In the digital age, information and communication technologies and – more recently – artificial intelligence (AI) are profoundly changing contemporary societies. These transformations, which are part of an unprecedented technological acceleration, are simultaneously affecting the economic, social, cultural and political spheres. By changing the ways individuals and enterprises produce, consume, exchange, and even think, digital technologies are at the center of the challenges facing today’s economy.
In this shifting context, it is essential to adopt a critical and multidisciplinary approach to understand the effects of these technologies on business, work, leisure, communication, decision, regulation and innovation. Testing Innovation Digital Modes and Models explores these issues in depth, using specific facts to highlight the dynamics at work and possible future prospects. Understanding these changes requires not only technical expertise, but also reflection on social models, institutions and collective values.
