The use of smart technologies in geriatrics will be inevitable, as AI and robotics can bring about signifi cant improvements in the care of the elderly AI and robotics already enable distinct optimisations in clinical care: from revolutionary diagnostics based on algorithm-supported correlations to the use of surgical robots in the operating room.


THE CENTRAL TASKS IN IMPLEMENTATION In the execution of Society 5.0, there are three key tasks: achieving social acceptance, promoting the benefi ts and adapting the education system. Social acceptance is the groundwork to successfully shaping Society 5.0, but most important item in achieving this objective is to explain the benefi ts. The general opportunities and concrete advantages


that Society 5.0 off ers should be presented, along with which opportunities will be embraced and which will not (especially with regard to problematic applications that can be implemented through digitalisation and interconnectivity). Above all, the education system must be geared to the new Society 5.0 – in both research and instruction as well. Due to the increasing digitalisation and connecting of the world, universities and schools have a responsibility to adapt curricula for tomorrow’s labour market. Points of criticism against Society 5.0 models


must also, of course, be considered. The supposed disempowerment of man is an important topic frequently revisited by universal historians, but Society 5.0 is more about the general improvement of the world in which we live than about the restriction of the individual. It is true that through automation and digitalisation, many formerly important skills are no longer needed and can, to put it pointedly, wither away. Studies have shown, for example, that with the rise of navigation systems, fewer people can read road


maps correctly. In this context, however, the question arises as to whether obsolete skills really represent a loss or create new scope for more sophisticated activities that benefi t people as a whole. To refute another criticism of Society 5.0, it must be understood that a mere belief in technology and innovation is undoubtedly a misguided approach. Social, ethical and legal questions must be considered,


The wider opportunities – and the concrete advantages – Society 5.0 promises should be presented.


and appropriate guidelines created. To simply let AI loose with the highest decision-making authority is certainly not the smartest course of action — and would likely lead to ruin. It is necessary to create regulations and directives and put them into action. Rules are one thing, but security is another. Society


5.0 also means that considerable amounts of personal data are collected and shared across systems. This means that the integration of suffi cient cybersecurity functions from the start of all developments according to the ‘Security by Design’ concept is of the utmost importance – from IoT to cloud security. There are still hurdles to overcome on the path to


a realisation of Society 5.0, but the development of Industry 4.0 into a social model that focuses on the people will be unavoidable. Through this future socio-economic challenges can be conquered. NTT Security takes up this challenge in lectures at it- sa 2019. For example, Kai Grunwitz, Senior VP EMEA (pictured left) will give a talk entitled ‘New cyber risks on the way to smart society and a new social model Society 5.0’ (11:40am-12:00pm, 9 October 2019, International Forum 10.1).
