Considering that the late 20th-century information revolution highlighted information goods and material goods, the era of the 4.0 industry is a new phase in human history where these two factors are converging again. Through technologies like robots, artificial intelligence (AI), big data, blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, and nanotechnology, we’re building cyber-physical systems that blend the real and virtual worlds, enabling automatic and intelligent control of objects. Moreover, as advancements in mobile technology and transportation continue, with increased movement of migration, people, things, information, and capital, we anticipate further enhancements in the mobility of humanity. Thus, this lecture focuses on “The New Humanity in the Mobility Society” in the 4.0 industry and examines the necessity of establishing new human and social values. In addition, this lecture enables young people to think about the potential changes in mobility society by the 4.0 Industry and discuss the advancement of humans and technology while contemplating prospects.
