Society 5.0 is a concept of society proposed by Japan to balance solutions to social problems and economic progress through integration between virtual and physical worlds. The concept was first introduced by the Japanese government in 2016 as part of a new industrial revolution. Society 5.0 proposes to integrate various technologies, including artificial intelligence, more effectively into society.

Unlike the Industrie 4.0 approach in Germany which focuses on the integration of industrial information technology, Society 5.0 expands the application of information technology to improve public living spaces and daily habits. The ultimate goal is to create a human-centered, knowledge-based, data-driven society. Society 5.0 combines cyberspace and physical space to achieve economic growth while solving social problems.

Historically, the concept of Society 5.0 emerged after going through several stages of society, such as hunting society (Society 1.0), agrarian society (Society 2.0), industrial society (Society 3.0), and information society (Society 4.0)1. With Society 5.0, Japan seeks to create a new society that utilizes digital transformation optimally for the good of all individuals.
