Big Data offers many new pos­si­bil­i­ties: Dig­i­tal­i­sa­tion and the automa­tion of val­ue-added chains lead to greater effi­cien­cy in pro­duc­tion and ser­vices. At the same time, Big Data is behind cre­at­ing cus­tomer pro­files and analysing these to ren­der the mar­ket­ing of prod­ucts and ser­vices more effec­tive. Fur­ther­more, Big Data can also be use­ful in low­er­ing cor­rup­tion in admin­is­tra­tive areas owing to soft­ware-sup­port­ed doc­u­men­ta­tion and much more. What changes will we see in our soci­ety? Where is it all head­ing or where should it be going?

Dr Cal­daro­la, author of Big Data and Law and for­mer CEO of Daim­ler Benz AG Edzard Reuter reflect on the mean­ing of being human and human inter­ac­tion in the dig­i­tal age.

Prof. Dr Maren Urn­er – Pho­to: Lea Franke

Big Data is a quan­ti­ta­tive tool that mea­sures and depicts cor­re­la­tions, com­par­isons and fre­quen­cies. Does it pro­vide us with solu­tions, or does it mere­ly serve to indi­cate where a solu­tion might be found, owing to its eval­u­a­tion. How can Big Data serve as a con­struc­tive solu­tion, as well as aid­ing and sup­port­ing the human brain?

In her Duet inter­view with neu­ro­sci­en­tist and best sell­ing author Prof. Maren Urn­er, Dr Cal­daro­la, author of the recent book Big Data and Law, talks with her on the pos­si­bil­i­ties of con­struc­tive crit­i­cism and news cov­er­age in rela­tion to Big Data.

While the indus­tri­al rev­o­lu­tion ini­ti­at­ed the process of automat­ing pro­duc­tion lines, dig­i­tal­i­sa­tion and the con­comi­tant appear­ance of Big Data, Indus­try 4.0, AI, and so forth will prob­a­bly com­plete it. In your book – Das Seerosen­prinzip1 – you have described in great detail how indi­vid­ual respon­si­bil­i­ty is dis­ap­pear­ing with the advent of ever-increas­ing mech­a­ni­sa­tion. Should we wor­ry that with greater automa­tion via the dig­i­tal rev­o­lu­tion respon­si­bil­i­ty will van­ish com­plete­ly or per­haps even be hand­ed over to robots?

In her Duet inter­view with Daniel Goeude­vert, the French man of let­ters, auto­mo­bile indus­try man­ag­er and busi­ness con­sul­tant, Dr Cal­daro­la, author of the recent book Big Data and Law, dis­cuss­es the mean­ing of respon­si­bil­i­ty in the dig­i­tal age.
