"Seitdem das Fernsehen Politik macht, werden Einwände und Kritik gegen Regierende über den Bildschirm kommuniziert – die Bürger*innen sind in passives Zuschauen gedrängt. Der Aufstieg der sozialen Medien dagegen verspricht neue Möglichkeiten der Teilhabe. Doch wird der öffentliche Raum immer ... more
"Just as in the global context, new tools are being used by the media in Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The use of artificial intelligence and machine learning (ALI/ML) is not limited to large, corporate media. But the reality of different news organisations with a variety of bu ... more

Using Big Data for Impact Evaluations

Oxford: Centre of Excellence for Development Impact and Learning (CEDIL) (2021), 7 pp.
"Big data can contribute to the evidence base in development sectors where evaluations are often infeasible due to data issues. Given the rapidly increasing availability of big data and improving computation capacity, there is a great potential for using big data in future impact evaluations. Big da ... more

Algorithms and Communication

Berlin: Institute for Media and Communication Studies Freie Universität Berlin (2021), 132 pp.
"The role of algorithms for producing and curating content as well as potential outcomes of these mechanisms is one of the most debated issues in existing communication research. “Communicating algorithms” affect processes of political, social and interpersonal communication. A broad variety of ... more
"Understanding and improving the science behind the algorithms that run our lives is quickly becoming one of the most pressing issues of this century. Traditional solutions, such as laws, regulations and watchdog groups, have proven woefully inadequate, at best. Derived from the cutting-edge of scie ... more

Retooling Politics: How Digital Media are Shaping Democracy

Cambridge; New York et al.: Cambridge University Press (2020), ix, 326 pp.
"Donald Trump, the Arab Spring, Brexit: Digital media have provided political actors and citizens with new tools to engage in politics.

New Dark Age: Der Sieg der Technologie und das Ende der Zukunft

Bonn: Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung (bpb), Sonderausg. (2020), 319 pp.
"[Der Autor] spürt den paradoxen und tragischen Momenten nach, zu denen die menschlichen Bemühungen einer technischen Beherrschung der Welt geführt haben. So zeigt er auf, wie Navigationssysteme Touristen in den Ozean leiten, Autopiloten Flugzeugabschüsse provozieren, algorithmisierter Hochfrequ ... more
"Invisible Women shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. It exposes the gender data gap - a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women, and that has created a pervasive but invisible ... more

Next-Generation Ethics: Engineering a Better Society

Cambridge et al.: Cambridge University Press (2020), xii, 472 pp.
"Many of the significant developments of our era have resulted from advances in technology, including the design of large-scale systems; advances in medicine, manufacturing, and artificial intelligence; the role of social media in influencing behaviour and toppling governments; and the surge of onli ... more
"China’s Integrated Joint Operations Platform (IJOP) operates in Xinjiang by collecting Big Data and alerting authorities to those it deems potentially harmful to the CCP regime. It does so through two major devices: the mobile phone, and the camera. These act as tools of disablement constraining ... more
"This guide has explored some of the key considerations that should inform the conceptualization and implementation of Machine Learning (ML) and artifical intelligence (AI) components within a development project. New, automated decision systems can offer considerable and rapid efficiency gains, but ... more

Nemitz ist Mitglied der Datenethikkommission der Bundesregierung und war massgeblich verantwortlich für die Einführung der EU-Datenschutzgrundver ... more

Digitalität und künstliche Intelligenz: Technik im Dienst des Geist-begabten und Selbst-bewussten Menschen

Mainz: Clearingstelle Medienkompetenz Katholische Hochschule Mainz (2020), 9 pp.
"Was wollen wir mit den Thesen erreichen? Sie sind eine Momentaufnahme auf die Digitalität. Sie müssen ständig fortgeschrieben werden, weil die Entwicklungen ungeheuer agil sind. Sie beinhalten auch keine umfassende theologische Deutung der Digitalität. Die vorliegenden Thesen sind aber ein Disk ... more
"Spatially and temporally relevant ‘big data’ that does not require data collection in the field has the potential to provide insights into people’s economic, social, behavioural and political lives, and hence could be used in measuring key development outcomes. Big data consists of humangener ... more
