Oliver Thomas, Osnabrück University and German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). Simon Hagen, Osnabrück University The COVID-19 pandemic has surprised the modern world and has presented challenges on an unprecedented scale. Within a few months of the first case being reported at the end of 2019, almost every country in the world is now affected (WHO 2020). Restrictions on public life were not made fast enough and, in some cases, were not sufficient to stop the global spread. Here we see the dark sides of globalization. The crisis is coming with an intensity undreamt of for today’s generations, affecting all areas of life and, at least temporarily, fundamentally changing them. The social, economic and political effects are clearly noticeable and solutions are being sought everywhere to mitigate the crisis and both its direct and indirect consequences. Upon observation, digitization and digitalization can be seen as an essential part of the solution strategies being discussed to handle the crisis and that associated technologies and concepts are in great demand. For example, the great need for remote communication and collaboration is creating a boom for relevant providers such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom, which have seen an increase from 10 to over 200 million active participants (Yuan 2020) through the provision of rudimentary communication solutions.

全球危机和 BISE 的作用
