Abstract

Digital capitalism differs from previous technological revolutions in at least one important respect: revolution is not about how effectively external objects can be manipulated, but more fundamentally about how reality reveals itself to us. The purpose of this article is to better understand the evolution of digital technology by outlining some of the dimensions of its social power through the concept of e-capital. A development that enables the rise of artificial intelligence and automatic decision making (ADM), digitization/ digitalization and its governance is seen as a special kind of social resource that redefines human activity. E-capital refers to the tangible and intangible, actual and potential collective and individual social resources related to ICT (information and computer technology) awareness, access, use and associated knowledge and know-how.
