Society 5.0, also known as the Super Smart Society,[1] is a concept for a future society created through a new industrial revolution, introduced by the Japanese government in 2016. The plan proposes integrating various technologies, such as artificial intelligence, more effectively into society.[2][3]
It emerged as a concrete manifestation and adoption of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and was first introduced by the Japanese government's Cabinet Office's Council for Science, Technology, and Innovation.[3] The unveiling of Society 5.0 took place within the framework of the 5th Science and Technology Basic Plan, presented by the late Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in 2019. This approach envisions a human-centric society that harmonizes economic progress [4] with the resolution of societal challenges. It suggests this equilibrium can be achieved by integrating the realms of cyberspace and physical space. [5] [6]
