The rapidly progressing digital revolution is now touching the
foundations of the governance of societal structures. Humans are on the
verge of evolving from consumers to prosumers, and old, entrenched
theories – in particular sociological and economic ones – are falling
prey to these rapid developments. The original assumptions on which they
are based are being questioned. Each year we produce as much data as in
the entire human history - can we possibly create a global crystal ball
to predict our future and to optimally govern our world? Do we need
wide-scale surveillance to understand and manage the increasingly
complex systems we are constructing, or would bottom-up approaches such
as self-regulating systems be a better solution to creating a more
innovative, more successful, more resilient, and ultimately happier
society? Working at the interface of complexity theory, quantitative
sociology and Big Data-driven risk and knowledge management, the author
advocates the establishment of new participatory systems in our digital
society to enhance coordination, reduce conflict and, above all, reduce
the “tragedies of the commons,” resulting from the methods now used in
political, economic and management decision-making.
