Synopsis

Digital transformation is an unavoidable force that is redefining society. However, beneath a surface of technological optimism, deep inequalities can be observed. How can we ensure that all share the benefits of digitisation? The book Digital Equity and Literacy is a valuable contribution that addresses these critical questions, serving as a reference for navigating the complex intersection between technology, society, and justice. This work presents a compilation of global perspectives from international experts who study the concept of digital divide. Based on an in-depth analysis, frameworks are proposed that consider digital literacy a human right, expanding its definition to include artificial intelligence. This work explores the experienced dimensions of digital inclusion and pedagogical strategies for empowering citizens with critical thinking and ethical skills. The analysis of high-level challenges, including governance and ethical dilemmas in sectors such as health, as well as the risks associated with financial transformation, is complemented by the presentation of concrete case studies on policies and strategies implemented in diverse countries and contexts. This work provides conceptual tools and practical evidence, offering policymakers, educators, researchers, and citizens a roadmap for fostering a more equitable, fair, and inclusive digital future.
