AI Self-Determination and Participation in Everyday Life by Andrea Lübken
Between autonomy and dependence – making everyday technologies inclusive
Digital technologies accompany us in everyday life – in living, in mobility, in communication. But not everyone benefits equally. This essential shows how technology can enable participation or prevent it unintentionally.
It highlights how adaptive systems, smart devices and digital assistants can make everyday life easier if they are designed to be understandable, accessible and needs-based. At the same time, it makes visible where technology creates barriers: through unnoticed needs, stereotypical assumptions or a lack of social embeddedness.
The focus is on the question: How can technology create trust and promote true autonomy? The Essential provides practical principles for user-centered development, participatory design and inclusive everyday solutions.

"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
