Digitalization – also an Anti-Kantian experiment?

One of the most important tasks of philosophizing today is to understand the great change brought about by the megatrend called digitalization. To address this problem it is first of all necessary to distinguish between explicit and implicit philosophy (“philosophy behind our backs”). After having dealt with the anti-Platonic and the anti-Cartesian experiment as examples of the philosophy “behind our backs” the analysis is proceeding towards the implicit Kantianism with respect to both epistemology and ethics. By exemplarily looking at Artificial Intelligence (AI) the question is discussed whether both the constructivist and the deontological approach of our implicit Kantianism are rendered obsolete by digitalization?
