Technological Prospects and Social Applications of Society 5.0
暫譯: 社會5.0的技術前景與社會應用

這本書為讀者提供了對社會5.0的願景，該願景最初是由日本政府在第五個基本科學與技術計畫中提出，旨在建立一個以技術為基礎、以人為中心的社會，這一社會是從第四次工業革命（工業4.0）中演變而來。在智慧社會中實施人工智慧（AI）及其他現代技術需要透過智慧應用、自動化數據排程和分析、智慧基礎設施、智慧系統和智慧網絡來實現。

特色
- 提供社會5.0的基本概念概述，以及支持社會5.0實施的主要支柱。
- 包含在計算機視覺、信號處理和計算科學領域的最新研究分析，以促進智慧家庭、建築、交通、設施、環境條件和城市，以及這些對國家的好處。
- 向讀者展示使用AI及其他演算法在智慧生態系統中處理人類動態、社會對象及其關係的實用方法。
- 處理AI工具及其他現代技術在智慧社會中的應用，以及當前挑戰性問題及其轉型為社會5.0的解決方案。

這本書的目標讀者為研究生及碩士生、研究人員、以及在計算機科學、人工智慧和機器學習領域工作的學者。
