Abstract. The actual base for the social sector reforms is life preserving innovations propagating
cyber-possibilities into population day to day life. The global trend to create an advanced social
model postulated by Japanese researchers and associated today only yet with the Industry 4.0
requires to create a super-intellectual Society 5.0. The point for close attention for the Society
5.0 could be simultaneously the problems of social and economic ways, which require solutions
to make the humanity humane. The Society 5.0 reaching is provided by digital services
penetration in all spheres of human activity based on the Internet of Everything. The most
important problems to justify the current State ways digitalizing are chosen to be economy
segments where the social inequality symbols are still yet in domination. The Smart City net
scheme using the Internet of Everything to realize the main statements of the Society 5.0
megaproject is proposed.
1. Introduction
The informative society economic transformation universal tool responding to the population actual
requirements is the Industry 4.0 concept propagating the technological initiatives probed into the
production environment into the social sphere [1, 2]. The super-intellectual production results
application beyond the branch technological problems creates a synergy zone for the new social
composition model expanding the cyberspace advantage for the national development base projects into
non-production segments [3].
The Society 5.0 megaproject, which was initiated by the Japanese specialists is a part of the industrial
economy global basic statements transformation to establish the knowledge economy and to transmit
humanity to the civilization development next step. The population cyber-interaction new format based
on the Industry 4.0 successful technologies requires to create some highly developed systems giving all
the society participants the optimal solutions where the artificial intelligence is engaged [4, 5].
Japan announced a strategy where the entire city infrastructure is renewed with the smart net
components to support the maximum intellectual IT (Information Technology)-communications
engaging the Internet of Everything. The wireless nets advanced technologies (5G, Wi-Fi and other)
adapt the Society 5.0 concept for the human capital needs for the conditions of safe and ecological
urbanism [6]. The cyberspace integration with the physical environment contributes the artificial
intelligence superstructure creation for the different level of services, which may solve social and
economic population problems with the digital environment resources [7].

The active digital transformation of morally and physically old city infrastructure is pointed to a
technological leap to increase the long-term authority cooperation efficiency with business and
population in the human activity different spheres [8]. The solutions generated into a cyber-production
is the stable evolutionary development base of the Society 5.0 which is being adapted to the priorities
of the actual cultural, economical, industrial and other modern defiance. To reach the «long» goals
including the creation of new general human values, smart things, intellectual services and other are
promoted to the State policy rank to motivate the huge companies to reinforce the IT-equipment
manufacturers and cyber-physical systems interaction in all branches of the economy [9, 10].
The advantages of the social consciousness model modification and city infrastructure physical and
cyberspace renewing, which are being prognosticated for the near future seem to be far and unreachable
for the observers, which makes it actual to apply the full scale scientific advanced ideas and knowledge
in the Society 5.0 [11, 12]. The human necessities diversity involves the economically potent countries
into searching for new points of additional profit, which is gathered from the Industry 4.0 technological
preferences, which are not limited to the production component only. In the perspective that could be
seen the combined informative and production technologies implementation could be expected in the
segments of pilotless transportations, the enlightenment sphere, in the construction, in the
pharmaceutics, in the atomic electrical energy and other spheres which are being viewed today as the
base for the digital innovative economy [13].
2. The Society 5.0 cyber-interaction
The Society 5.0 cyber-interaction requires the electronic data to be processed in the cyberspace collected
through digital communication means after the population residence physical environment conditions
monitoring and smart systems functioning. The technological innovation into the entire society
production activity scale is related to the appearance of things (Which in wide sense means: gadgets,
city administrative infrastructure objects, autonomous transport and other) with Internet detectors which
give the information as digital and linguistics data.
The technologies of peripheral calculations quickly and safely identify objects into the smart net,
which supports all types of devices connection and aggregates the informative data tides for the level of
useful knowledge, which are necessary for the population in emergency and day to day situations. The
internet communication infrastructure all covering application in the Society 5.0 urbanism may
accumulate the cyber-production actual data with the high level of their centralized analytical processing
after which the systemized knowledge necessary for the consumers are returned to the physical
environment.
The formed with those tools social and economic IT-infrastructure is the technological platform of
the super smart Society 5.0 where the central place is for the Internet of Everything. The Society 5.0
things and technologies are out of the narrow traditional boundaries, which are typical for the Industry
4.0 concept studying, which was initiated first only for the metal processing production. The
reconsideration of some technologies importance for the Society 5.0 megaproject may develop them and
apply independently form private solutions, which are proposed today by some smart things suppliers.
To support the initiative proposed with the industrial internet tools create in the mental aspect a high
level controlling tool providing fast data exchange among the active participant agents of the city smart
net. The collected intellectual data helps more accurately to solve each particular social and economic
population trouble and that why the Society 5.0 is being constantly optimized. Speaking of the
population social factors importance expanding the Society 5.0 must be viewed as the deep information
application into all key economic spheres.

to realize the Society 5.0 megaproject main principles.
Without being limited with the Industry 4.0 technological spheres the Society 5.0 provides a smooth
cyber-interaction for the new generation infrastructure agents which are the mixed Education 4.0, the
digital Economy 4.0, the telemetry Healthcare 4.0 and other. A complicated combination of non-
structured data into the cyberspace is processed with the artificial intelligence, which illustrate the
advanced and improved net technologies into socially important cloud services.
The Society 5.0 megaproject specifics is the cyber-structures deep penetration into the world after
which there is a balance among solutions, methods and means which correspond the social and economic
and technical defiance. The population mass demand for cyber-services, which provide the high level
of convergence of innovations in cyber-physical spaces, which improve the quality of life. The
megaproject ambition goal to create a good environment with a long-term social success shall be realized
in practice with analytical data centers resources, which calculation capabilities decentralized-ly
distributed among the cloud and smart things.
Among socially important cyber-solutions, which are applied today to create some controlling
strategies of the city urbanism the following ones could be revealed:

• the electronic commerce technology to support online banking, block chain and goods and
services contactless ways of payment using QR (Quick Response)-codes;
• the electronic health keeping technologies which process in real time the computer tomography
photos and which also provides a remote online service of doctor consultancy;
• the cyber-security technologies to realize multi-factor automatic identification of net devices
and person authentication which apply the images recognition mechanisms which in
combination reduces the crime;
• the energy resources electronic control technologies from simple street lights to the atomic
electrical stations;
• the weather and environment condition cyber-monitoring technology (climate) to monitor the
indications current status and to prognosticate the ecology situation development (which is very
important in particular for agricultural business, the emergency population warning systems and
other);
• the cyber-sells technologies for population services and consumer segment which makes a
commercial offer individual with the goods and services electronic customizing principles
which combine the interests of each society member;
• the electronic government technology to realize online vote, the authority organs meetings
online translations for the legislative, executive, judicial branch and other;
• the electronic education technology which permits the education content and digital library
resources studying remotely which is important for disabled persons and persons who reside the
remote areas;
• the household items remote control technologies (refrigerators, washing machines and other)
through the Internet of Everything;
• the technologies of safe road traffic which provide the driverless transportations with
automobile, railroad and air means;
• the population social security technologies which provide voluntary services and material State
payments for citizen with limited movement through their electronic applications and other.
Each separate technology is a narrowly applied developed service and good which characterizes the
innovative economy stage and the production Industry 4.0. The total digitalizing requires the cyber-
physical space system complex dialectic unity to optimize the Society 5.0 resources synergy to provide
the citizen welfare. The conceptual designs with dominating technology factor to satisfy the social
population necessities defines the State infrastructure assets as a digital platform where the socially
responsible business deploys highly accurate informative ecosystems of life preserving innovations with
high quality standards.
The Society 5.0 megaproject ideologists evaluation says that the cyber-physical spaces resources
total optimization is the less capital consuming compared to stage by stage digitalizing of some economy
branches or social segments where the city infrastructure must be renewed. If they refuse to improve the
State socially by sectors the economic efficiency will be an increase in data significance which are
viewed in another humanity evolution stage as a resource to expand the State social solidarity.
4. Conclusion
The Society 5.0 constructing includes the informative knowledge base and a data bank creation, which
contains the applicable and fundamental social and economic technologies, which form a synergy in
solving the actual humanity troubles. The technology availability and their wide humanitarian
application let the economically potent countries create comfortable living environment and gain the
leading positions of the super intellectual Society 5.0 practical propagation.
The Industry 4.0 digital leap success in the social mind creates the new behavior models of the
population cyber-interaction where the highly advanced cyber-systems eliminate the barrier, which is
typical for the smart cities world. The cooperation with business circles huge internet companies

representatives to design the technological innovations let the Society 5.0 discover all optimal solutions
advantages to facilitate the human communication with authority organs work processes in all branches
and levels, service commercial companies, education companies and other.
The combined data application by cyber-agents mobilizes the technologies to form useful (new)
knowledge necessary for the State economic progress in the future establishment the Society 5.0
intellectual humanitarian model. The directed efforts of authorities and business together with the
artificial intelligence create the new population social welfare, which is not included in the industrial
economy model:
• a combined way of employment to realize different types and timetables of remote jobs;
• human substitution in hazardous automatic productions which use the technologies of ecological
danger;
• a remote way to propagate the State services into the population in a wide range of socially
important questions (the acts of civilian states, estate deals, subsidiaries) and other.
The tangible obstacles to establish and harmonically develop the Society 5.0 are the low level of
civilian activity, which prevents the progressive ideas new economic model implementation in all places
and business absence of desire to support financially the technologies of clear social application.
Meanwhile the Japanese government megaproject the Society 5.0 is a real technological leap to develop
the city State infrastructure and innovative ecosystems.
To create a humane society with intellectual digital platform for the interests of a particular person
in a separate (isolated) country is a highly improbable scenario of the civilization development. The
actual aspect to reach the stable general welfare is a full scale international cooperation where the
industrial economy balance of interests is preserved and also social equality and environment safety for
future generations. The Society 5.0 tools are democratic State policy systems combined with authority
tolerance, business and population to the appearing social defiance.

... Tourism is the driving force of economic and social development, ultimately increasing the opportunities to convert society into a "super smart society" and other benefits for society (Yıkılmaz, 2020). A super smart society, or Society 5.0, refers to a new concept of human civilization where both digital technologies and human well-being combine to deal with the existing collective challenges and encourage the development of the living standard of the society people by working together (Alimohammadlou & Khoshsepehr, 2023;Talukder, 2020b;Gurjanov et al., 2020). Introduced by Japan, Society 5.0 refers to the world where technologies such as AI, IoT, and robotics work in every sphere of life for society, ultimately boosting the economy's advancement and social well-being (Holroyd, 2022). ...
... The vision of a super-smart society allows smart technologies to improve the living standards of society's people and work toward sustainable growth and innovation (Hook et al., 2017;Talukder, 2020a). As a rapidly evolving and influencing sector, tourism possesses significant authority to contribute to this substantial social conversion (Gurjanov et al., 2020). By analyzing tourism activities, it has been seen that tourism ensures the overall development of society, including infrastructural development, cultural exchange, economic growth, and so on (Baggio et al., 2020;Gretzel et al., 2015). ...

Chapter
  • Mar 2025
Tourism is a growing sector in the world economy with a substantial impact on social change through economic activities, including income-generating activities such as employment and infrastructural development. This chapter aims to find possibilities to augment tourism in developing society 5. 0 or a super-smart society that uses valuable contemporary technologies like AI, IoT, Big data, and Robotics. Society 5. 0 is a concept designed to overcome some arising and existing issues and enhance the quality of people's lives using modern and digital technologies. The chapter, therefore, applies theoretical debate and real-life examples to explain tourism impacts, including improved standard of living, economic growth, cultural interchanges, and development in technological inventions. It also examines the possible implications of tourism development for financial, social, and environmental factors. In realizing the mutual impact of two subjects, this chapter discusses a novel, practical, sustainable tourism approach and advancement to obtain a super smart society.

An integrated framework for addressing urban challenges in smart cities: transitioning from the V-model to a knowledge-action approach
Article
  • Sep 2023
Digital technologies and tools have been widely deployed in smart city initiatives to improve operations, resource allocation, and infrastructure management. Due to high complexity and diversity, however, numerous technologies have simultaneously created obstacles for practitioners when choosing appropriate tools for certain urban challenges. This study proposes a knowledge-action guiding framework (K-A framework), based on the classic V-model, useful for guiding practitioners to scan through appropriate digital technologies and tools for addressing urban challenges and societal issues. A toolbox was also developed to support the use of the framework. It outlines a comprehensive landscape of popular and emerging digital tools in digitalizing urban services. Essentially, the K-A framework provides ‘how-to’ in terms of identifying potential tools, while the digital toolbox shows ‘what-are-the-options’ for the users of the framework. The case study underscores the usefulness of the framework and toolbox as effective practical guides for formulating action solutions.

Digital Architectures Under Society 5.0: An Enterprise Architecture Perspective
Conference Paper
  • Feb 2023
As Japan’s vision regarding Society 5.0 is unfolding, several digital architectures are (being) designed and constructed. Although Society 5.0 is extensively researched and its application is illustrated in several domains, little research is conducted regarding digital architectures under Society 5.0. The aim of this paper is to identify and analyze digital architectures that are (being) designed and constructed under Society 5.0 from an enterprise architecture perspective. Extending the results of related studies, a systematic literature review is conducted to find out which enterprise architecture frameworks and principles are utilized to create digital architectures under Society 5.0. The initial search in three scientific databases resulted in a sample of 857 documents. After removing duplicates and screening based on abstracts, 116 documents have been analyzed. This revealed a variety of 37 digital architectures in different domains. The main finding is that the analyzed digital architectures mainly use conceptual and system representations, make little use of established enterprise architecture frameworks, are not based on explicit principles, and do not refer to a reference architecture for Society 5.0. This paper presents an enterprise architecture perspective on Society 5.0 and is considered of value for scholars and enterprise architects that are interested in digital architectures under Society 5.0. This study is limited to scientific databases and selected published articles. Empirical research is required to validate the findings. As the interest in Society 5.0 is increasing, it is recommended to develop reference architectures and guiding principles to support digital transformation processes. Future research can contribute to develop prescriptive design knowledge and supporting methods for designing, constructing, and evaluating digital architectures under Society 5.0.

Chapter
  • Feb 2025
This study aims to analyse the moderating effect of Digital Governance on the relationship between PA5.0 and the transition to SSC in East Africa. E-government implementation in public administration is paramount to improving the delivery of service as well as governance. This research will explore ways in which improvements in PA5.0 and DG help to form intelligent societies in Eastern Africa and establish the nature of change driven by these paradigms in public services. Using KMO, EFA CFA & SEM with AMOS software, the research models & examines the interaction of PA5.0, DG & SSC. The results also show that DG plays a moderate role in mediating the relationship between the two independent variables and the dependent variable. The direct effect of PA5.0 on SSC is 0.49 and mediated by DG is 0.46 which in turn highlights partial mediation with total influence of 0.95. The findings indicate that a combination of PA5.0 and DG could greatly improve governance and socioeconomic growth in Eastern Africa to be closer to the concept of a Super Smart Society.

This study aims to enhance the development of beach tourism by identifying and optimizing efficienttravel routes between popular tourist attractions and nature and resources. Various travel scenarios weresimulated using the Hill-Climbing algorithm to minimize travel time and distance, thereby improvingvisitor experiences and economic outcomes. The analysis focused on two-wheeled motor vehicle travel, astandard mode of transportation in the region that is well-known for this city. The study identified optimalroutes that significantly reduce travel inefficiencies by comparing different combinations of beaches andcultural destinations. The results we expect, in 1st scenario about distance, the most efficient distancetraveled is 69.55 km in 184 minutes. In 2nd scenario about length, the most efficient distance traveled is36.95 km, which takes 115 minutes. Policies for the government to implement extraordinary developmentwere created. Emphasizing tourism becomes essential when developing relevant policies and supportingdevelopment according to the wishes of community members. The findings highlight the importance ofstrategic planning, infrastructure improvements, and practical policy collaboration to maximize thepotential for beach tourism in Semarang City, Indonesia and contribute to regional economicdevelopment. The proposal still needs to address the phenomenon that occurs at coastal tourist locations,and the view must be changed from textual to conceptual. This means that there will be a new conceptwith the addition of a travel analysis perspective. This approach will support the long-term sustainabilityof coastal tourism, which aligns with broader regional development goals.

  • Dec 2023
Research Question: In this paper, the processes that characterize the transition process to Society 5.0 are analysed. Motivation: The wide application of Industry 4.0 technologies has positively affected the economic aspects of conducting business. However, issues arise in the social and ecological aspects. Overcoming these challenges is not an easy task for both enterprises and countries as well. Multiple processes across multiple industries take place that pave the way towards a new business and social paradigm – Society 5.0. The main goal was to determine what processes characterize the transition to Society 5.0 and how managing some of these processes can affect the transition. Additionally, the role of managers in Society 5.0 is discussed. This is important, as the number of studies that address this subject in this manner is small. The motivation is to expand the existing body of literature in this domain. Idea: The main idea was to conduct a systematic review of studies regarding Society 5.0 from various aspects. Based on the findings, the role of managers is investigated. In addition, a theoretical model of the transition process is developed. Data: For this review study, 54 papers from credible sources were qualitatively analysed. The papers refer to Society 5.0 in various domains (sustainability, business, environment, ICTs, education, technology, data, Industry 4.0, Industry 5.0 etc.). Tools: The well-established PRISMA protocol was used for the review process. The findings were noted and labelled for easier development of the theoretical model. Findings: The findings and the developed model indicate the imperative role of managers across all industries for organic and sustainable results that come from the transition processes. Managers must embrace change and thrive towards the concept of Society 5.0 when it comes to conducting business. Contribution: The results of the review contribute to the existing body of literature, as there are few studies that address Society 5.0 in this manner.

Article
Full-text available
  • Jan 2019
According to many, we are at the brink of the fourth industrial revolution. The theme of Industry 4.0 is "Smart Manufacturing for the Future". Now, some futurists even discuss what the fifth industrial revolution’s theme will be. There are a few visions for Industry 5.0. One emerging theme is human-robot co-working. In recent years, we have seen significant advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) research. Today, there are robots for various purposes at affordable prices in the market. It is not long before we closely interact with robots in our lives and workplaces. Testing autonomous cars in traffic is a promising example of this upcoming trend. There are companies having an employee record for robots or AI applications. While there are many studies on human-robot collaboration for low-level tasks with a focus on robot development, we lack studies focusing on organizational issues emerging from human-robot co-working. In this study, we discuss the possible issues related to human-robot co-working from the organizational and human employee’s perspective. We believe the issues identified in this study will be the focus of many upcoming organizational robotics research studies.

Recommender systems for smart cities
Article
  • Sep 2020
  • INFORM SYST
Among other conceptualizations, smart cities have been defined as functional urban areas articulated by the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and modern infrastructures to face city problems in efficient and sustainable ways. Within ICT, recommender systems are strong tools that filter relevant information, upgrading the relations between stakeholders in the polity and civil society, and assisting in decision making tasks through technological platforms. There are scientific articles covering recommendation approaches in smart city applications, and there are recommendation solutions implemented in real world smart city initiatives. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is not a comprehensive review of the state of the art on recommender systems for smart cities. For this reason, in this paper we present a taxonomy of smart city features, dimensions, actions and goals, and, according to these variables, we survey the existing literature on recommender systems. As a result of our survey, we do not only identify and analyze main research trends, but also show current opportunities and challenges where personalized recommendations could be exploited as solutions for citizens, firms and public administrations.

The ideological justifications of the Smart City of Hamburg
Article
  • Oct 2020
  • CITIES
This article analyzes rhetoric as a mean of ideology reproduction on the base of digital public rhetoric of Hamburg's government on smart city agenda. With the aim to grasp ideology behind the technological optimist rhetoric about smart city and research its effects and functions, an interpretative analysis of empty signifiers was conducted. Interpretations of Horkheimer and Adorno, Žižek and Lacan serve as background for the research, which are introduced to enrich an existing (mainly Foucauldian) set of smart city critique. Inspired by critical theory, this analysis shows that ideology is reproduced by culture industry and indicates tendencies to implement instrumental reason, to harmonize the existing social and economic contradictions and mainly reproduces economic interests. Since the researched rhetors are as politicians in power to materialize their ideological convictions, the mystification of technology plays a crucial role as disciplining and controlling measure, which aims to stabilize and justify status quo and maintain the existing inequalities. Derived rhetoric elements, which indicate categorization of citizenship and reductionism of environmental issues demonstrate the high societal relevance of the study and emphasize the urgent need for critique on progressing urban digitalization.

Enabling Technologies and Sustainable Smart Cities
Article
  • Jun 2020
The technological interventions in everyday processes has led to the rise of Smart ecosystems where all aspects of everyday life like governance, transportation, agriculture, logistics, maintenance, education and healthcare are automated in some way or the other and can be controlled, managed and accessed remotely with the help of smart devices. This has led to the concept of Smart cities where Information Communication and Technology (ICT) is merged with the existing traditional infrastructure of a city which is then coordinated and managed using digital technology. This idea of smart cities is slowly but surely coming into reality as many countries around the globe are adopting this idea and coming up with their own model of smart cities. At the core of smart city lies the sensors and actuators embedded in the smart devices that sense the environment for facilitating effective decision making. The microcontrollers available in these devices are programmed to take decisions automatically based on the information received from the sensors. This involves integration of several information and communication technologies like artificial intelligence, protocols, Internet of things (IoT), wireless sensor network (WSN) etc. This paper discusses and extensively reviews the role of enabling technologies in smart cities. The paper further highlights the challenges and limitations in the development of smart cities along with the mitigation strategies. Specifically, three categories of challenges are identified namely technical, socio-economic and environmental giving specifics of each category. Finally, some of the best practices for attaining sustainable smart cities are provided.

A typology of Smart City services: The case of Data Protection Impact Assessment
Article
  • Sep 2020
  • CITIES
The implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation within the European Union intensifies regulatory requirements in terms of data protection for Smart City services. In particular, the mandatory Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) process constitutes a complex managerial challenge. To reduce the complexity, this study develops a typology of Flemish Smart City services based on DPIA costs. Our explorative case study, based on face-to-face interviews and a workshop, shows that DPIA costs vary along the complexities of i) the urban environment in which a Smart City service is provided, and ii) the Smart City service itself. The research further demonstrates that these complexities represent multilayered concepts. The complexity of the urban environment consists of three layers: i) city size, ii) diversity of urban stakeholders, and iii) total of Smart City services in the urban region. Similarly, the complexity of the Smart City service is composed of five layers: i) number of different data streams, ii) clarity of data ownership, iii) amount of use-cases, iv) privacy invasiveness, and v) visibility of the Smart City service. While most layers of the respective complexities unequivocally matter in the eyes of the experts, others are more contested, such as the size of the city and the visibility of the Smart City service. This cost-based framework is of value to city administrations and Smart City service providers as it allows them to make the DPIA process more efficient by shortening the learning curve and improving decision making by clustering services based on data protection needs. In particular, stakeholders that have little expertise in-house, and that are looking for an easy-to-understand, rational framework can benefit from these results. Furthermore, based on both the literature review and the obtained results, our systematic data protection impact-cost-approach is generalizable beyond the EU-borders.

The concept of a smart city has recently gained attention in academic, industry, and governments. Smart cities could be considered as urban areas that use data collection sensors and digital technologies which cooperate to create benefits for citizens in terms of well being, inclusion and participation, environmental quality, and intelligent development. Smart city vendors provide software systems to support application developers, city managers, urban planners, and policy-makers in designing, implementing, deploying, and managing smart city applications for an effective urban development and management. Although there exist a variety of smart city software systems, their benefits and limitations are still unknown. In this paper we review smart city vendors and we provide insight into their software systems for smart cities. Thus, we come up with a good entry point, and here survey a large amount of information to help developers, city managers, urban planners, and policy-makers to take better decisions when choosing smart city software systems.

Article
  • Feb 2020
  • COMPUT COMMUN
Today’s society must prioritize the design and development of platforms for Big Data processing. Smart cities generate large volumes of valuable data which the government can use to manage cities more intelligently. Aware of the value of data, many researchers have proposed architectures for optimized data collection and use. This paper proposes a novel approach that enables smart cities to reuse the functionalities of old applications by adapting them to new architectures. To be able to process large amounts of data and solve a variety of problems, smart city platforms need extra computing power. Two case studies have been conducted to verify the performance of the proposed platform. Those case studies have demonstrated that the development process of a smart platform can be simplified by implementing functionalities and components taken from earlier platforms.

Article
  • Jan 2019
In April 2016, the Japanese government enacted the 5th Science and Technology Basic Plan. It covers many aspects, including innovation promotion and internationalization. A focus point, however, is the development of the society towards a Super Smart Society, the Society 5.0. Is it possible for post-conflict countries to implement a quantum leap that will allow the construction of a super smart society in these countries also? The authors of the study were looking for this question and have already provided some answers in their joint research work. An important part of the solution is the development of cost effective control systems to operate certain alignment mechanisms. The decisive part of these mechanisms should be automatic. The control is taken over by the AI.
