The Last Futurist recently delved into the concept of “Society 5.0″.

Michael Spencer commented:

The idea is that Society 5.0 occurs when things come full circle. For instance:

The term refers to the idea that Society 5.0 will follow Society 1.0 (hunter-gatherer),

Society 2.0 (agricultural), Society 3.0 (industrialized), and Society 4.0 (information).

Also called the ‘super-smart society’, Society 5.0 envisions a sustainable, inclusive socio-economic system, powered by digital technologies such as big data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things and robotics.

Society 5.0 would be a place where 21st century ethics like sustainability and inclusion are integrated with AI and digital transformation in a perfectly balanced way… There are countless directions in which society will be advanced by technological development. But we need to balance ethics, human rights, environmental concerns with the advancement of technologies like AI that while they will help GDP, could also create wealth inequality and hurt how capitalism and democracy functions.
