Revealing Key Trends in Industry 5.0 Using Advanced AI Techniques

This article analyzes approximately 200 online articles to identify trends within Industry 5.0 using artificial intelligence techniques. Specifically, it applies algorithms such as LDA, BERTopic, LSA, and K-means, in various configurations, to extract and compare the central themes present in the literature. The results reveal a convergence around a core set of themes while also highlighting that Industry 5.0 spans a wide range of topics. The study concludes that Industry 5.0, as an evolution of Industry 4.0, is a broad concept that lacks a clear definition, making it difficult to focus on and apply effectively. Therefore, for Industry 5.0 to be useful, it needs to be refined and more clearly defined. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that well-known AI techniques can be effectively utilized for trend identification, particularly when the available literature is extensive and the subject matter lacks precise boundaries. This study shows the potential of AI in extracting meaningful insights from large and diverse datasets, even in cases where the thematic structure of the domain is not clearly delineated.
