Abstract

This study aims to answer the following research question: “Can technologies of industry 4.0 in the society 5.0 paradigm contribute to achieve a sustainable development?” It aims to investigate the relationship between the spirituality of a new economy promoted by Pope Francis and the human-centered approach of Society 5.0. The goal is the construction of a society where everyone can share the same opportunities and it guarantees economic growth and well-being for all without discrimination.

The study is based on a qualitative and explorative approach using “Scopus” and “Web of Science” databases.

The traditional space is changing, it is necessary to merge the cybernetic/virtual space with the physical space. They are already talking about “Super Smart Society”, achievable through current 4.0 technologies including Big Data, Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Big Data collected by the IOT and converted by Artificial Intelligence will reach every sector, place and social segments. The lives of all people could be more comfortable and sustainable, people will be provided only with products and services that serve them, in the necessary quantity and at the right time.

The research wants to shed light on the connection between the “Economy of Francis” mission and “Society 5.0” paradigm to realize a sustainable development of society and to identify the related critical aspects.
