Sarah Spiekermann , married. Sarah Spiekermann-Hoff , (born September 5, 1973 in Düsseldorf ) is a German-Austrian business IT specialist . Since 2009 she has headed the Chair for Information Systems and Society at the Vienna University of Economics and Business .

Live and act

Sarah Spiekermann was born in 1973 in Düsseldorf and initially studied business administration at the University of Passau and the French Grande École Européenne des Affaires (ESCP - EAP) in Paris, Oxford and Berlin. The training led to first work stations as a management consultant at AT Kearney in Berlin and in 2002/03 as a marketing manager at Openwave Systems in Paris .

In 2001 she did her doctorate at Humboldt University in Berlin with Oliver Günther on the question of how people can be supported by digital anthropomorphic software agents in the purchasing process. As part of her doctorate, she was the first to establish the idea that giving up privacy represents a separate search cost category for Internet users and experimentally discovered the so-called privacy paradox . This describes how people, despite their desire for privacy, reveal excessive private information about themselves online.

In 2007 Sarah Spiekermann completed her habilitation in business informatics at the Humboldt University. In her habilitation, she devoted herself to the topic of human control in the Internet of Things ('Ubiquitous Computing') and coined the term technology paternalism together with Frank Pallas. Furthermore, she showed experimentally how people in highly digitized environments develop a learned helplessness towards technology.

The empirical insights into the privacy paradox and the helplessness of users prompted Sarah Spiekermann to negotiate the first method for a privacy impact assessment officially ratified by the European Commission in 2011 between US and European business partners and to advocate a so-called privacy by design in the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which can be created through Privacy Impact Assessments. This was followed by critical and conceptual work on data management platforms .

Between 2008 and 2009, Sarah Spiekermann received a total of four calls to German-speaking universities: to the Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg , where she also gave a lecture in 2008/2009; to the University of Mannheim, the European Business School and the Vienna University of Economics and Business . In 2009/10 she was Adjunct Research Professor at the Heinz College of Public Policy and Management at Carnegie Mellon University . In 2008 she founded Skillmap as a Humboldt spin-off . She accepted the offer at the Vienna University of Economics and Business, where she took over Robert Hansen's Institute for Business Administration and Information Systems. In 2018 she renamed it the "WU Institute for Information Systems & Society". In 2016, she and her colleague Axel Polleres founded the Privacy & Sustainable Computing Lab at WU .

In her academic work, Sarah Spiekermann has been systematically dealing with digital ethics since 2014 and thus goes beyond values ​​such as electronic privacy and control. In 2015 she published the English textbook “Ethical IT Innovation - A Value-Based System Design Approach” at CRC Press, followed by the book “Digital Ethics - A Value System for the 21st Century”. On derStandard.at she writes the blog Die ethische Maschine .

On October 29, 2015, she drafted an agenda for the digital age for the weekly newspaper DIE ZEIT .

On June 19, 2017, together with Georg Franck , Johannes Hoff and other philosophers , she published the manifesto Against Transhumanism in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ),  in which she pointed out the social danger posed by a transhumanist image of man. She also publicly expressed this concern in another article in the Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) entitled “The human being as a mistake” on March 24, 2019.

After a comment in the Ö1- Morgenjournal about the handling of the Austrian Post with customer data, it was requested by the Austrian Post in January 2019 to sign a cease and desist declaration . Spiekermann subsequently saw freedom of expression restricted by lawsuits from corporations and individuals and called on the Rectors' Conference to provide official legal protection for the professors.

Sarah Spiekermann was on the board of the Globart think tank from 2013 to 2018 , is on the advisory board of the Austrian digitization agency and on the board of trustees of Forum Alpbach

She is married to the German philosopher and theologian Johannes Hoff .
