    Abstract
    1983 bewegte ein einziges Thema die gesamte Bundesrepublik: die geplante Volkszählung. Jeder Haushalt in Westdeutschland sollte Fragebögen mit 36 Fragen zur Wohnsituation, den im Haushalt lebenden Personen und über ihre Einkommensverhältnisse ausfüllen. Es regte sich massiver Widerstand, hunderte Bürgerinitiativen formierten sich im ganzen Land gegen die Befragung. Man wollte nicht "erfasst" werden, die Privatsphäre war heilig. Es bestand die (berechtigte) Sorge, dass die Antworten auf den eigentlich anonymisierten Fragebögen Rückschlüsse auf die Identität der Befragten zulassen. Das Bundesverfassungsgericht gab den Klägern gegen den Zensus Recht: Die geplante Volkszählung verstieß gegen den Datenschutz und damit auch gegen das Grundgesetz. Sie wurde gestoppt. Nur eine Generation später geben wir sorglos jedes Mal beim Einkaufen die Bonuskarte der Supermarktkette heraus, um ein paar Punkte für ein Geschenk oder Rabatte beim nächsten Einkauf zu sammeln. Und dabei wissen wir sehr wohl, dass der Supermarkt damit unser Konsumverhalten bis ins letzte Detail erfährt. Was wir nicht wissen, ist, wer noch Zugang zu diesen Daten erhält. Deren Käufer bekommen nicht nur Zugriff auf unsere Einkäufe, sondern können über sie auch unsere Gewohnheiten, persönlichen Vorlieben und Einkommen ermitteln. Genauso unbeschwert surfen wir im Internet, googeln und shoppen, mailen und chatten. Google, Facebook und Microsoft schauen bei all dem nicht nur zu, sondern speichern auf alle Zeiten alles, was wir von uns geben, was wir einkaufen, was wir suchen, und verwenden es für ihre eigenen Zwecke. Sie durchstöbern unsere E-Mails, kennen unser persönliches Zeitmanagement, verfolgen unseren momentanen Standort, wissen um unsere politischen, religiösen und sexuellen Präferenzen (wer kennt ihn nicht, den Button "an Männern interessiert" oder "an Frauen interessiert"?), unsere engsten Freunde, mit denen wir online verbunden sind, unseren Beziehungsstatus, welche Schule wir besuchen oder besucht haben und vieles mehr.

    Abstract
    Dieser Beitrag beleuchtet die Geschichte der Zukunftsforschung in der Bundesrepublik und in den westlichen Industriegesellschaften vom 19. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart. Er charakterisiert die Vorläufer der modernen Zukunftsforschung am Beginn der europäischen "Hochmoderne" um 1900, stellt aber die Formierungs- und Transformationsphase der 1950er- bis frühen 1980er-Jahre in den Mittelpunkt. Zentrale Faktoren für die Konzeptionierung einer Meta-Disziplin Zukunftsforschung waren der Systemwettlauf des Kalten Krieges, welcher der Entwicklung von Methoden der Vorausschau und Planung Dynamik verlieh, und ein teilweise frappantes wissenschaftliches Vertrauen in diese neuen methodisch-theoretischen Zugänge und Techniken der Vorausschau - insbesondere die Kybernetik -, welche die Zukunft prognostizierbar und damit plan- und steuerbar zu machen schienen. Den Kontext bildeten eine gesellschaftliche Aufbruchstimmung und eine hohe politische Technik- und Planungsaffinität der 1960er-Jahre, welche das Verständnis der Zukunftsforschung bestärkten, dass der Mensch aus der Fülle der möglichen Zukünfte wählen und so die Zukunft geradezu frei gestalten könne. Dieses überzogene Machbarkeitsdenken betraf insbesondere die bundesdeutsche Zukunftsforschung. In den 1970er-Jahren wurden allerdings die Grenzen dieses Anspruchs deutlich. In der Folge pragmatisierte sich die Zukunftsforschung in methodischer Hinsicht. Nicht zuletzt trug dieser übersteigerte Machbarkeitsglaube der 1960er-Jahre dazu bei, dass die Zukunftsforschung in der Bundesrepublik lange wenig institutionalisiert war.

    Abstract
    Der Hype um autonomes Fahren und KI schaffe gefährliche Illusionen, glaubt Horx. "Digitale Ehrlichkeit" gestehe ein, dass Computer keine realen Probleme lösten. Der Trend- und Zukunftsforscher Matthias Horx hält das Thema Künstliche Intelligenz für ziemlich überschätzt. Es sei "eine Art Fetisch geworden - ein Hype, der gefährliche Illusionen schafft", sagte der Soziologe und Leiter des Zukunftsinstituts in Frankfurt am Main in einem Interview der Deutschen Presse-Agentur. "Die meisten realen Probleme sind viel zu komplex und "lebendig", als dass sie von Datensystemen gelöst werden können." Das gelte auch fürs autonome Fahren. Es sei Zeit für eine "digitale Ehrlichkeit": "Computer und Roboter können weder die Pflege regeln, noch Armut mildern, noch den Verkehr entstauen. Dazu brauchen wir intelligentere soziale, humane Systeme."

    Abstract
    Wie wir alle vom technischen Fortschritt profitieren. Revolution des Menschseins - Wir brauchen eine Besinnung auf eine gemeinsame demokratische Kultur. "Wie die Bewältigung der Human-Krise gelingen kann und was von jedem dafür verlangt wird, davon erzählt mein neues Buch "Mehr Zukunft wagen" [1]. Es führt den Leser auf eine Reise in eine neue, positiv gestimmte gesellschaftliche Utopie. Auf dieser Reise wird sie oder er zunächst die Dystopien kennenlernen, die angesichts des schnellen technologischen Wandels einen großen Teil des modernen Denkens bestimmen. Der zweite Teil beleuchtet dann die Möglichkeiten, die uns der fortschreitende Wandel bietet. Er betrachtet die Möglichkeiten, wie wir die allseits propagierten negativen Entwicklungen abwenden, den technologischen Fortschritt human gestalten und mit seiner Hilfe für alle Menschen ein wahres Paradies auf Erden erschaffen können. So richtig ernst ist das alles nicht, wenn auch 59 Prozent sagen, sie würden in der Freizeit oder im Urlaub den Weltraum besuchen."

    Abstract
    Der Informatiker und Turing-Preisträger Manuel Blum erklärt im Interview, wie er Maschinen mit Bewusstsein ausstatten will. Der US-amerikanische Informatiker Manuel Blum von der Carnegie Mellon University arbeitet derzeit mit seiner Frau Lenore, die ebenfalls Informatikerin ist, daran, ein Modell des Bewusstseins zu entwickeln, das sich auch in Computern umsetzen ließe. Derzeit sind sie dabei, die theoretischen Grundlagen so weit auszuarbeiten, dass das Modell zur Überprüfung von Hypothesen herangezogen werden kann. Erst danach ließe sich die Architektur in Hardware umsetzen. Blum ist aber optimistisch, dass ihm das gelingen kann. Vor kurzem war der Informatiker, der für seine Beiträge in den Bereichen Komplexitätstheorie und Kryptografie 1995 mit dem Turing-Preis, der höchsten Ehrung für Informatiker, ausgezeichnet wurde, auf Einladung der Technischen Universität in Wien, um die diesjährige Gödel-Lecture zu halten. Die futurezone hat Blum aus diesem Anlass interviewt, um ihn nach den Fortschritten, die er bisher bei der Arbeit mit seiner Frau gemacht hat, zu fragen.

    Abstract
    The paper discusses the nature of values in general and the nature and utility of the values of librarianship. Delineates the changes that have occurred and are occurring in the wider world and the nature of change; also the importance of values in providing a framework for dealing with present and future change. Stresses the centrality of the human record to societal progress, the place of the human record in cultural heritage, and the central purpose of libraries in facilitating interaction with the human record and furthering the transmission of cultural heritage. Urges a turning away from the alien value systems of information technology, consumerism, materialism, and corporate management, and a consequent set of alliances between libraries and a wide range of cultural institutions and associations.

    Abstract
    The range, depths and limits of what we know depend on the media with which we attempt to record our knowledge. This essay begins with a brief review of developments in a) media: stone, manuscripts, books and digital media, to trace how collections of recorded knowledge expanded to 235,000 in 1837 and have expanded to over 100 million unique titles in a single database including over 1 billion individual listings in 2007. The advent of digital media has brought full text scanning and electronic networks, which enable us to consult digital books and images from our office, home or potentially even with our cell phones. These magnificent developments raise a number of concerns and new challenges. An historical survey of major projects that changed the world reveals that they have taken from one to eight centuries. This helps explain why commercial offerings, which offer useful, and even profitable short-term solutions often undermine a long-term vision. New technologies have the potential to transform our approach to knowledge, but require a vision of a systematic new approach to knowledge. This paper outlines four ingredients for such a vision in the European context. First, the scope of European observatories should be expanded to inform memory institutions of latest technological developments. Second, the quest for a European Digital Library should be expanded to include a distributed repository, a digital reference room and a virtual agora, whereby memory institutions will be linked with current research;. Third, there is need for an institute on Knowledge Organization that takes up anew Otlet's vision, and the pioneering efforts of the Mundaneum (Brussels) and the Bridge (Berlin). Fourth, we need to explore requirements for a Universal Digital Library, which works with countries around the world rather than simply imposing on them an external system. Here, the efforts of the proposed European University of Culture could be useful. Ultimately we need new systems, which open research into multiple ways of knowing, multiple "knowledges". In the past, we went to libraries to study the recorded world. In a world where cameras and sensors are omnipresent we have new recording worlds. In future, we may also use these recording worlds to study the riches of libraries.

    "As a theoretical physicist based in Cambridge, I have lived my life in an extraordinarily privileged bubble. Cambridge is an unusual town, centered around one of the world's great universities. Within that town, the scientific community which I became part of in my twenties is even more rarefied. And within that scientific community, the small group of international theoretical physicists with whom I have spent my working life might sometimes be tempted to regard themselves as the pinnacle. Add to this, the celebrity that has come with my books, and the isolation imposed by my illness, I feel as though my ivory tower is getting taller. So the recent apparent rejection of the elite in both America and Britain is surely aimed at me, as much as anyone. Whatever we might think about the decision by the British electorate to reject membership of the European Union, and by the American public to embrace Donald Trump as their next President, there is no doubt in the minds of commentators that this was a cry of anger by people who felt that they had been abandoned by their leaders. It was, everyone seems to agree, the moment that the forgotten spoke, finding their voice to reject the advice and guidance of experts and the elite everywhere.
    I am no exception to this rule. I warned before the Brexit vote that it would damage scientific research in Britain, that a vote to leave would be a step backward, and the electorate, or at least a sufficiently significant proportion of it, took no more notice of me than any of the other political leaders, trade unionists, artists, scientists, businessmen and celebrities who all gave the same unheeded advice to the rest of the country. What matters now however, far more than the choices made by these two electorates, is how the elites react. Should we, in turn, reject these votes as outpourings of crude populism that fail to take account of the facts, and attempt to circumvent or circumscribe the choices that they represent? I would argue that this would be a terrible mistake. The concerns underlying these votes about the economic consequences of globalisation and accelerating technological change are absolutely understandable. The automation of factories has already decimated jobs in traditional manufacturing, the rise of AI is likely to extend this job destruction deep into the middle classes, with only the most caring, creative or supervisory roles remaining.
    This in turn will accelerate the already widening economic inequality around the world. The internet and the platforms which it makes possible allow very small groups of individuals to make enormous profits while employing very few people. This is inevitable, it is progress, but it is also socially destructive. We need to put this alongside the financial crash, which brought home to people that a very few individuals working in the financial sector can accrue huge rewards and that the rest of us underwrite that success and pick up the bill when their greed leads us astray. So taken together we are living in a world of widening, not diminishing, financial inequality, in which many people can see not just their standard of living, but their ability to earn a living at all, disappearing. It is no wonder then that they are searching for a new deal, which Trump and Brexit might have appeared to represent. It is also the case that another unintended consequence of the global spread of the internet and social media is that the stark nature of these inequalities are far more apparent than they have been in the past. For me, the ability to use technology to communicate has been a liberating and positive experience. Without it, I would not have been able to continue working these many years past. But it also means that the lives of the richest people in the most prosperous parts of the world are agonisingly visible to anyone, however poor and who has access to a phone. And since there are now more people with a telephone than access to clean water in Sub-Saharan Africa, this will shortly mean nearly everyone on our increasingly crowded planet will not be able to escape the inequality.
    The consequences of this are plain to see; the rural poor flock to cities, to shanty towns, driven by hope. And then often, finding that the Instagram nirvana is not available there, they seek it overseas, joining the ever greater numbers of economic migrants in search of a better life. These migrants in turn place new demands on the infrastructures and economies of the countries in which they arrive, undermining tolerance and further fuelling political populism. For me, the really concerning aspect of this, is that now, more than at any time in our history, our species needs to work together. We face awesome environmental challenges. Climate change, food production, overpopulation, the decimation of other species, epidemic disease, acidification of the oceans. Together, they are a reminder that we are at the most dangerous moment in the development of humanity. We now have the technology to destroy the planet on which we live, but have not yet developed the ability to escape it. Perhaps in a few hundred years, we will have established human colonies amidst the stars, but right now we only have one planet, and we need to work together to protect it. To do that, we need to break down not build up barriers within and between nations. If we are to stand a chance of doing that, the world's leaders need to acknowledge that they have failed and are failing the many. With resources increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few, we are going to have to learn to share far more than at present. With not only jobs but entire industries disappearing, we must help people to re-train for a new world and support them financially while they do so. If communities and economies cannot cope with current levels of migration, we must do more to encourage global development, as that is the only way that the migratory millions will be persuaded to seek their future at home. We can do this, I am an enormous optimist for my species, but it will require the elites, from London to Harvard, from Cambridge to Hollywood, to learn the lessons of the past month. To learn above all a measure of humility."

    Abstract
    In the future, frontier research in many fields will increasingly require the collaboration of globally distributed groups of researchers needing access to distributed computing, data resources and support for remote access to expensive, multi-national specialized facilities such as telescopes and accelerators or specialist data archives. There is also a general belief that an important road to innovation will be provided by multi-disciplinary and collaborative research - from bio-informatics and earth systems science to social science and archaeology. There will also be an explosion in the amount of research data collected in the next decade - 100's of Terabytes will be common in many fields. These future research requirements constitute the 'eResearch' agenda. Powerful software services will be widely deployed on top of the academic research networks to form the necessary 'Cyberinfrastructure' to provide a collaborative research environment for the global academic community. The difficulties in combining data and information from distributed sources, the multi-disciplinary nature of research and collaboration, and the need to move to present researchers with tooling that enable them to express what they want to do rather than how to do it highlight the need for an ecosystem of Semantic Computing technologies. Such technologies will further facilitate information sharing and discovery, will enable reasoning over information, and will allow us to start thinking about knowledge and how it can be handled by computers. This talk will review the elements of this vision and explain the need for semantic-oriented computing by exploring eResearch projects that have successfully applied relevant technologies. It will also suggest that a software + service model with scientific services delivered from the cloud will become an increasingly accepted model for research.

    Abstract
    This thought piece on the future of cataloging is long on musings and short on predictions. But that isn't to denigrate it, only to clarify it's role given the possible connotations of the title. Rather than coming up with solutions or predictions, Marcum ponders the proper role of cataloging in a Google age. Marcum cites the Google project to digitize much or all of the contents of a selected set of major research libraries as evidence that the world of cataloging is changing dramatically, and she briefly identifies ways in which the Library of Congress is responding to this new environment. But, Marcum cautions, "the future of cataloging is not something that the Library of Congress, or even the small library group with which we will meet, can or expects to resolve alone." She then poses some specific questions that should be considered, including how we can massively change our current MARC/AACR2 system without creating chaos

    Abstract
    Digital information and the increasing amount and availability of its basis, data, is changing scholarship to a more or less dramatic extent. New areas of research and knowledge have been created by machine-produced data, calculations, and simulations in various academic disciplines. However, no adequate infrastructure for digital information has emerged yet. Whereas in the field of scientific information providers (libraries, document centers, publishers etc.) new services, arrangements and business models are being experimented, the scholarly disciplines are, by and large, lagging behind these developments, as are most scientific work practices. To sum up: An information infrastructure of scholarly information has been developed, but not one for scholarly information, yet. What this means, and some ideas of what could be done about it, shall be discussed in the talk.
