“…This logic boils down to the fact that absolute characteristics form the basis for calculating other indicators. Starting from these features, we can proceed to using relative and average indicators to explore the structure, intensity, effectiveness and other aspects of the spread of smart technologies [26]. However, such a methodological approach is not universally recognized because it initially does not allow to focus on the key aspects of open innovation that play a major role in the smartization of society.…”

The post-industrial society is transforming into a smart society, in which smart technologies control all the main processes. The study aims at proposing indicators for assessing the spread of smart technologies in various spheres of human life with due regard to the introduction of open innovations. The methodological basis of the study was an approach focused on the study of the processes of development of open innovations and the smartization of society with the involvement of special methods. Special methods include document analysis based on a literature review conducted by the authors, content analysis using multiple correspondence analysis and the cluster analysis method. This is the first study to use the Smart Progress Index like other social development indices, including the Social Progress Index, the Physical Quality Life Index and the Sustainable Economic Welfare Index. The Smart Progress Index will determine the state of society and the level of its development in technological, geopolitical, socio-economic, demographic and environmental terms. There are three indicators of the Smart Progress Index: 1) the scale of smart technologies; 2) the conditions and intensity of introducing smart technologies; 3) the results of smart technologies. Each aspect includes several components represented by seventeen indicators.

“…This is evident in several conceptual and empirical studies addressing the role of ICT in society. Theories conceptualised the information society (Webster, 2014) or the network society (Castells, 1996;van Dijk, 2020) or smart society (Iannone, et al, 2019), often defined according to a progressive numbering of software versions (Deguchi, et al, 2020;Narvaez Rojas, et al, 2021). As "novel" interpretations of socio-political and cultural changes, they arose from prior theories and conceptualisations of society (Craven and Wellman, 1973;Crawford, 1983) and still needed solid theoretical underpinnings (e.g., smart society).…”

Digital sustainability: Ethics, epistemology, complexity and modelling

The growing attention to digital sustainability can arguably be linked to climate change and digital transformations as major megatrends rapidly altering our collective present and future. The current Russian-Ukrainian war and the recent pandemic, however, have both raised uncertainty over the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) achievement and the role of technology and innovation for sustainability. Without ignoring the dramatic consequences for people, the Ukrainian war can be deemed as a significant shift in geopolitics and global energy policies, with a short-term return to fossil fuel and commitments to renewable and clean energy transitions. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst for a more pervasive diffusion and adoption of information and communication technologies (ICTs) transforming our lives and notions of sustainability. By considering the disruptive impact triggered by the pandemic, this paper aims at advancing awareness and knowledge of digital sustainability and at drawing a coherent framework of arguments including ethical and epistemological issues, taking into account the approach of complexity science. This will be essentially carried out by considering digital sustainability as “the convergence of digital and sustainability imperatives that involves a trans-disciplinary approach of deploying digital technologies in tackling sustainability issues” (Pan and Zhang, 2020). Across different interpretations reflected within business and management debates (Sharma, et al., 2021), this definition gives meaning to the concept or construct by specifying operations that must be performed in order to measure or manipulate the concept (Berrío-Zapata, et al., 2021). This paper will focus on the profound transformations of our view of reality by ICTs acting as instrumentarian technologies, and the need to avoid determinism, rethink science-technology relations, and consider the distributed morality of multi-agent ecosystems as significant aspects to further a debate on the trans-disciplinary nature of digital sustainability, including the potential negative impacts of digital technologies on society, economy and environment.

“…In times such as the ones we are living through, it would be completely unrealistic to expect to restore an educational system totally centered on traditionally conceived schooling or an education seen as a store of knowledge and experience all concentrated in the first phase of people's lives. On the contrary, the goal or horizon of smartness -that is, the integration of people, environment and technologies (Iannone, 2020) -imposes more than ever a vision of education that is authentically inclusive and aimed at overcoming various old and new inequalities. Furthermore, precisely by reasoning about the empowerment of the most disadvantaged and especially about a possible rebalancing in education spending to the benefit of the social classes that today in fact receive the least, even Piketty (2020Piketty ( , pp.…”

In this article, I address issues of inequality in Italy and, in particular, the role that education can play in fighting inequality. Moving beyond the nevertheless real problem of the scarcity of funds allocated by the Italian governments to education, I focus on the objectives that should inform spending criteria, thus emphasizing the importance of truly inclusive education, achievable through an ambitious path of comprehensive and incisive reforms. A country that does not excel in the civic sense and that for some scholars is even becoming less civilized, Italy should put education back at the center not only as a matter of social justice, but also to avert decline and improve the quality of its democratic coexistence.
