Abstract
Increasingly powerful digital services relieve people of tasks and competencies and develop from passive helpers into active assistants with suggestions and automatic actions. These services, combined with the sensors and actuators of the Internet of Things, measure and document billions of individuals. Algorithms derive patterns from the resulting gigantic databases, which ultimately lead to recommendations for people. Whether people use these growing capabilities of machine intelligence for their own benefit or to their detriment becomes the greatest challenge facing mankind. A discipline of Life Engineering should understand the technology, quality of life, and the control of society and guide its development.
