Summary
As the next step after Society 5.0, which aims to realize an advanced smart society, we have proposed ""Humanity 2.0,"" an initiative that strongly promotes Society 5.0 as a human-centered framework.
The goal is to realize a next-generation social space in which real space and cyber space are fused in a ""human in the loop,"" from basic research to practical application. Society is only concept without reality that emerges from human activities, and excessive attention to society obscures the people who are important. Society is a result of the aggregation of various individuals, and must be viewed from a human-centered perspective. The ultimate goal of this center is to upgrade humanity from Humanity 1.0 to Humanity 2.0 through symbiosis with next-generation AI.
