Summary/Abstract: In my study, I spotlight the concept of digital humanism and briefly examine some aspects of the complex process that has become known in recent years as “digital transformation”. Throughout the paper, the underlying question persists: how does digitalization impact various human communities, and what (new) emphases emerge in the different formulations of responses to digitalization as a challenge? Given the monumental nature of the topic, with nearly every aspect being dynamic, malleable, and continuously evolving, I view this study as an outline and a thought-provoking piece, and I ask the reader to do the same. Although some global information and communication technology (ICT) guidelines and strategies appear to be already accepted, ICT itself, along with the human thinking that enables it, is perpetually dynamic. There is no “definitively” closed horizon as long as the observer of that horizon sees it as such. This is why it is important to realize that our actions, both within and outside the digital space, intentionally or unintentionally impact the process of digital transformation. In doing so, we influence its realization, thereby creating realities where humans control technology, not the other way around.
