Humanists in Society 5.0: The Need for an Interdisciplinary Approach in Building a Super Smart Society-Practice Track-

Abstract

This paper shows multiple dichotomies between the classical ideal of humanitas and the initial concept of Society 5.0 in the areas of data, diversity, sustainability, and acceleration. It argues that in order to overcome these dichotomies it is required to include humanists in the task of designing solutions to ensure that Society 5.0 will become not only super smart but also worth living in.
