The world is facing an even greater tide of change against a backdrop of rapidly advancing innovation in digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, and blockchains, as well as biotechnologies. Ongoing Digital Transformation (DX) is triggering the evolution of a new society. DX means that advances in digital technology and data utilization drastically changes aspects of society including private lives, public administration, industrial structure, and employment. Industry 4.0 places technology as an element that increases production with the extensive use of automation systems, Society 5.0 (S5.0) places people at the centre of technological change and innovations. S5.0 is inevitable and an opportunity; it will be an Imagination Society, where DX combines with the imagination and creativity of diverse people to solve social problems and create value. S5.0 is not something to come, it is something to be created together - the real player in this society is not technology but people.
The proposed track will focus on following topics in the frame of education, health and agriculture:
· Social Effects of DX
· Functions of people in DX
· Organizational balance in the process of DX
· Transition of Industry 4.0 to S5.0
· Industry 5.0: concept, ideology and proposals
· Integration of cyberspace and physical space
· Human-centricity and S5.0
· Smart human and smart society
· S5.0: what is next?
