Alienation Issues and Artificial Intelligence in the Era of Society 5.0

The phenomenon of alienation, which is widely examined in both specialized and general studies, has seen a decline in its conceptual clarity and usage in recent times. Meanwhile, a new paradigm known as Society 5.0 has emerged, which coincides with the technological surge in artificial intelligence within developing regions. This shift prompts a re-evaluation of alienation within the context of rapidly evolving time and space dynamics. This article aims to illuminate the relevance of Hegel's theory of alienation, particularly his dialectic concerning the master-slave relationship, and explore its implications within an advanced intelligent society. This research critically engages with the theory through comprehensive philosophical analysis with the aim to uphold the autonomy of the spirit in the virtual realm, which represents a pressing issue in contemporary society.
