When we think about the digital future as well as new values, the feminist view must not be missing. Where do patriarchal inscriptions, gender identities or stereotyping hide in the field of artificial intelligence, what is reproduced in future technologies? Questions of gender are essential, also in post- and transhumanism.

Technology philosopher Janina Loh gives us an introduction to the school of thought of post- and transhumanism, in which humans are considered equal to other species and postulate a better version of themselves by means of technology.
