Smart Sovereignty: The Security Shield for Smart Society 5.0

Abstract

Transformation of human societies is inevitable.Soon humanity will witness Society 5.0.The Super Smart Society is pushed and charged with technological growth and revolutions.This will inevitably present both opportunities and challenges affecting most aspects of our lives.In this paper, the authors discuss the actions required to mitigate potential risks in this process.With that in mind, the authors are introducing a novel concept: Smart Sovereignty.Smart Sovereignty aims to shift the position of power away from governments and large corporations, and directly and indirectly empower individuals to control and lead the change through new organizations, NGOs, and NPOs.This new concept opens the doors for a vast research field that touches our security directly.Finally, the authors propose a framework enabling society to reach and maintain a state of sustainable Smart Sovereignty.
