Cognitive Sovereignty and Action Framework – Opinion Survey

The aim of the following questionnaire is to map how cognitive sovereignty is protected in schools and workplaces – that is, how attention, independent thinking, and value judgment can be preserved in the age of algorithms. Please consider both theoretical and practical aspects, and share your concerns and suggestions as well.

The responses will be used anonymously and aggregated, and the results will be published in a public summary.

On a scale of 1–5, where 1 means not at all and 5 means I completely agree / very important significance.

What role do you primarily identify with in your response? ✪

Do you agree that the primary duty of the school/workplace is to protect the independent thinking and attention of children/employees from algorithmic influence, even if this is more uncomfortable in the short term?

Please describe any additional comments you have regarding the previous question!

Do you support that the state or the maintainer formulates the protection of cognitive sovereignty as a central goal in a separate program?
