Vol. 2 No. 1 (2023): 1st PPsUMT International Conference on Social Sciences, Education, and Humanities (PICSSEH) 2022
Over time, the technology created by humans is growing. One of them is Society 5.0 which was initiated by the Japanese state. This concept allows us to use modern science-based (AI, Robot, IoT) for human needs with the aim that humans can live comfortably. Society 5.0 itself was just inaugurated 2 years ago, on January 21 2019 and was made as a resolution on industrial 4.0 resolution.
The concept of Industrial revolution 4.0 and Society 5.0 actually does not have much difference, but the concept of Society is more focused on the human context. If the industrial revolution uses AI and artificial intelligence as its main components, while Society 5.0 uses modern technology, it only relies on humans as its main components.
The concept of Society 5.0 is a refinement of the previous concepts. Where as we know, Society 1.0 was when humans were still in the era of hunting and knowing writing, Society 2.0 was the era of agriculture where humans were familiar with farming, Society 3.0: had entered the industrial era, namely when humans started using machines to help with daily activities -day, Society 4.0: humans are familiar with computers to the internet and Society 5.0 the era where all technology is part of humans themselves, the internet is not only used to share information but to live life.
Based on these conditions, educators and counselors and others are expected to be able to have the specific competencies needed. In addition, intense competition between professions makes competency and expertise an absolute must-have to face the era of Society 5.0 and global challenges. This is in line with the vision of the University of Muhammadiyah Tangerang (UMT), namely "Becoming a World-Class Islamic University Based on Green Industry" and the vision of the UMT Postgraduate Program, namely "The Realization of an Excellent Postgraduate Program in the Development of National Level Science, Technology and Arts (IPTEKS) in 2035", then the First PPsUMT International Conference on Social Sciences, Education, and Humanities (PICSSEH) 2022 was held with the theme "Contributions of Social Sciences, Education, and Humanities in Society 5.0".
