Transforming Society into Society 5.0

In the modern world, human activities continue to evolve in line with technological advancements. In the past, life was primarily focused on survival, but today, people can optimize their lives to new heights thanks to technology. In Indonesia, around 67.29% of the population has access to the internet, demonstrating how technology has become an integral part of daily life. Society 5.0 is a super-smart society that integrates technology in the real world to meet human needs more holistically and in detail. Unlike Society 4.0, where technology was used to increase efficiency, Society 5.0 focuses on enhancing human quality of life and happiness. For example, in Society 4.0, the internet was used for quick access to information, but in 5.0, it is used for personal connections and learning to close knowledge gaps. AI, IoT, and Big Data play crucial roles by enabling real-time processing and use of data to enhance life quality. One approach to addressing technological challenges in Society 5.0 is human-centric, placing people at the core of every technological innovation. This can be achieved through closer collaboration between humans and machines, such as using collaborative robots to reduce repetitive tasks, allowing humans to focus on creativity and decision-making. Technology aligns with ethics and inclusion as governments and industries collaborate across sectors to ensure ethical and inclusive technology adoption.
