Phenomenon digitization

Ackermann: Threat

Ackermann: Chances

Transcript

Digitisation is a great enrichment and, of course, also a great challenge for our society and is constantly evolving. This means that we must always find new ways to deal with it and determine in which sectors new elements are taking effect. In this respect, it is also necessary to permanently work on our media skills. I am active in social work and deal with digital in this field. There is always the question of how I can find ways to let people actively participate in our digital society. How can I protect them from risks? For example, how can I set up projects with my students to become active in the digital field? Of course childhood and youth and also the adult life of people has changed insanely. The media have become a new instance of socialisation in principle and are constantly bringing us new contacts in new contexts, with people who do not even need to be in our physical proximity. This makes us much more agile, much more global, much more networked. For professional further education or generally for professional existence, an incredibly large number of things have changed, which we can and should always keep in mind. And this is exactly where it is important to look at how I can accompany people on this path? Because it is not the case that there are people who, because the Internet has always been there, are simply Internet-competent from the outset or who can deal with all these phenomena. Instead, because technology is constantly evolving, you have to look again and again: What is the new element right now? To which things do I perhaps have to pay attention again now? How can I stay on the pulse of time? On the one hand, it is of course important for politics that structures are created in which we can also acquire media skills, in which we are equipped with technology in the diverse sectors, but also with concepts. So far, it is still very much the case that we are working more on equipping ourselves with devices than on developing concepts and creating scope for putting them into practice. That means that this is actually the important area where we should start.

Transcript

Since the way people interact with digital media is particularly relevant to my field of work, this is also one of the challenges in the area of crime and violence prevention, because new channels are created for strategic networking. Sometimes these are also shifted to channels that are no longer so visible, because we obviously have the case that quite a lot of our communication is recorded and monitored in digital contexts. In other words, ways are constantly being created of how to network across these monitoring mechanisms and sometimes also agree to risky behaviour. In fact, this is something that has taken on a new quality, because I can, of course, interact much more specifically with people who can perhaps reinforce this or who can also strengthen me in my mindset. Radicalisation, for example, is a very large field in this area. Because we can see that algorithms, which are sometimes very prejudiced and simply rank elements higher if they are very emotional, if they are very polarizing, if they promote a great deal of exchange, bring us into contact with radical positions more quickly. And of course it is very important to see how this actually influences people, especially young people. Because we know that teenagers consider it important when their more famous YouTubers, who they like and trust, have ideas about how they could behave in one place or another. That means to look there, okay, how can I get young people to be able to judge that, that they know from which direction comes which source, so that they do not let themselves be influenced in the negative direction.

Transcript

Above all, digitisation offers potential for crime prevention because it is interactive and can always create immersive spaces. This means that I can empathise more easily with certain situations with the help of technology, which can also lead to me being able to anticipate them more easily and sometimes look at them and see how they can be avoided. Persons can be transferred into experiential spaces in a very specific way in order to prepare them. Or it can be used, for example, to put people in the perspective of a perpetrator for a moment through interactive films and to see where and how they could actually react. These are for example new potentials: Interactivity and immersion. If you think about it further now, if you do not stop at social networks for the time being, whereby social networks naturally have the advantage that they are very low-threshold and that very quickly a lot of people can be reached with information, including younger people, but if you could get away from them again, then virtual reality is in any case a very important scenario where a lot of work is still being done. To look at, which situations can I create? And what can I actually achieve with it? And how, for example, this is also an important area at the moment, how can I accompany people to emerge again from this virtual reality? Thus, the fact that they do not completely keep the experiences they have, which can sometimes be disturbing, within themselves, but rather process them, contextualise them. We have just started a new project at the Potsdam University of Applied Sciences, where we are also working with virtual realities. It is about digital inclusion in the context of social anxiety disorders. For example, we are investigating how invasive scenarios can be used to allow people to participate in the reality of life for people with social anxiety disorders, in order to change society’s perception of anxiety disorders and create greater awareness. And on the other hand, it is also about looking at how I can use virtual realities to let people try out social situations, for example? Low-threshold and also decided by them themselves how far this should go. In order to be able to get back into physical social situations.

It is always nice when you can have visions, and I believe that people are very quickly getting to grips with artificial intelligence in the field of visions and thinking that, from a technological point of view, a great deal will happen in the field of prevention. Because the machines can learn better and can deal with patterns even faster and develop ideas about where crimes might occur and how they can be prevented. But what I think or what I wish for the vision is that we develop participatory prevention formats. That we actually use this networking potential to connect people with very different starting situations. And to look from different perspectives at the specific situation that we might want to prevent or approach, that we want to learn more about in order to bring together very different actors. In other words, to create a climate in which we can open up spaces for discourse, where these people come together and where algorithms or artificial intelligence are more likely to help transport discourse there. So that they find their way there, but that we put people above technology. Also because we can still see in many places how prejudiced technology actually is and many fields could then take on a very strange direction. So my plea in a vision would be that it is very participatory.
