Digitalization and prediction: rethinking decision-making models

Abstract

The game changer character of digitalization is requiring the formulation and use of new concepts and languages, to describe a transformation that, even before economic and organizational, defines a new human condition. The present paper refers to the new role of the cognitive mechanism of feedforward that, in a society based on a high growth of interconnected sensors, modifies the processes of knowledge and decision-making, laying the foundations for a new field of competence, the future literacy.
