Artificial general intelligence in industry 4.0, 5.0, and society 5.0: Applications, opportunities, challenges, and future direction

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is a giant step ahead of narrow Artificial Intelligence (AI), and in a wonder-form, it can really revolutionize Industry 4.0, 5.0, and Society 5.0. For instance, in Industry 4.0, AGI will permit absolutely autonomous fabrication procedures, optimizing supply chains and personalizing products with efficiency like never before. While bringing about Industry 5.0, the integration of AGI with human intelligence foresees fostering a collaborative, sustainable industrial environment more oriented to human-centric innovation and well-being. Society 5.0 has a vision of harmoniously blending cyberspace and physical space but leaves out the role AGI could play in dealing with the complex societal challenges of healthcare, education, and urban management with its intelligent solution tailoring to the needs of individuals and communities. However, there are big challenges to the use of AGI in these domains, and there are ethical concerns. Key issues to be tackled include risks of autonomy without accountability, possible biases of decision-making, and socio-economic effects from large-scale automation. Above all, safety, transparency, and fairness in using AGI systems are important to avoid undesirable consequences. The ethical concerns of AGI, like privacy issues, possible misuse, and the requirement for solid regulatory frameworks, are getting urgent considering major steps we are taking toward such a highly evolved paradigm in society and industries.

6.1 Introduction

The development of these industrial and societal paradigms further translates, most recently, to Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0 to Society 5.0 in a brand-new technological advance spurred by Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) (Kumpulainen & Terziyan, 2022; Gobble, 2019; Schmidhuber et al., 2015). A significant change in the manufacturing and production processes was brought about by Industry 4.0, characterized by the integration of cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, and advanced automation. Industry 5.0 transforms that further and gives more focus to human-centric and sustainable approaches while emphasizing increased collaboration between humans and machines (Denkenberger et al., 2021; Naudé & Dimitri, 2020). Society 5.0, which is later enacted as a super-smart society, integrates human life with advanced technologies even more, striving to strike a balance between economic growth and the solving of societal problems. In such frameworks, AGI—able to take on literally any intellectual task that can be done by a human—provides unparalleled opportunities for innovation and efficiency at the same time as it presents huge complex challenges and questions of an ethical nature (Naudé & Dimitri, 2020; Yue & Shyu, 2023). There are vast possibilities for AGI to revolutionize other businesses, among them autonomous decision-making, predictive maintenance, smart manufacturing, and personalized customer experiences (Sonko et al., 2024; Buttazzo, 2023; Haney, 2018). Finally, in Industry 4.0, AGI will optimize entire supply chains, enable generative methods for better product design, and realize real-time decision-making in extensive data (Baum, 2017; Grybauskas, 2024). In Industry 5.0, the role of AGI again increases in its symbiosis with humankind, as shown through cobots working collaboratively with people, increasing productivity within the guarantee of humankind's welfare. Within Society 5.0, AGI will be aimed at solving the more pressing problems society is facing, such as growing aging populations, accessibility to healthcare, and environmental sustainability, through intelligent and adaptive solutions that could serve human diversity.

However, the integration of AGI into these advanced industrial and societal frameworks is not without its challenges. The deployment of AGI raises certain serious concerns: displacement of jobs, breach of privacy, and continuation of biases in algorithms (Grybauskas, 2024; Nadji-Tehrani & Eslami, 2020). Potential ethical challenges with AGI, including those around accountability, transparency, and the possibility of using autonomous systems to make important decisions without human supervision, are also to be looked into. The development of AGI is proceeding; as it continues, the societal impacts, regulatory structures, and ethical aspects of AGI implementations will have to be explored to make sure phenomenal human values are not compromised (de Albuquerque et al., 2023; Mindt & Montemayor, 2020). The research provides a detailed review of applications, opportunities, challenges, and ethical concerns that have been raised with respect to AGI vis-à-vis the contexts of Industry 4.0, Industry 5.0, and Society 5.0. This research will contribute—through its inquiry into the transformative capacity of AGI in emerging paradigms—to the ongoing discourse regarding how best to harness AGI for the betterment of industry and society while addressing the critical issues AGI adoption raises.

6.2 Applications of Artificial General Intelligence in Various Industries

One level beyond the specialized AI we are familiar with today is Artificial General Intelligence: namely, that a machine can perform any intellectual task a human is capable of doing (Mindt & Montemayor, 2020; Brennen et al., 2022). While narrow AI is tailor-made to do certain tasks, such as speech recognition or playing chess, AGI seeks to be as versatile as human intelligence. The concept of AGI has been a topic of research, debate, and speculation for many years (Torres, 2019; James, 2021; Williams, 2020). Now that we have reached the threshold of achieving AGI, its applications across several industries might change the face of the world as we know it today (McIntosh et al., 2024; Everitt, 2019; Fitzgerald et al., 2020).

Healthcare

Among the most promising areas for the application of AGI, especially in healthcare,. AGI holds immense potential for improving diagnostic accuracy, hence personalized medicine and, in turn, patient care. Work ongoing in AI systems today is already making diagnosis processes better, but they are still heavily overseen by human presence. AGI could diagnose independently almost all forms of diseases, taking into consideration the patient's full medical history and lifestyle combined with genetic information. Such would be diagnosed more quickly and precisely, and treatment plans could be developed that really are tailored exactly to the needs of each individual. AGI could also retain and analyze vast reams of health data from a variety of sources, such as clinical records, wearable devices, genomic data, and so on, identify patterns, and predict the incidence of potential health problems at an incipient stage, prior to their critical phase. It could also aid in drug discovery through simulation and prediction of the interactions of various compounds with the human body, greatly reducing the time and cost involved in bringing new drugs to market.

Finance

Another domain in which AGI might produce the most transformative effects is the financial industry. AI is already widely applied in algorithmic trading, fraud detection, and customer service. However, AGI could take these applications to the next level with more sophisticated, dynamic, and adaptive solutions. For example, AGI would be able to correctly forecast market trends by interpreting such a vast array of data points as global economic indicators, social media sentiment, and even weather patterns. Moreover, AGI could also improve the management of risk, as it would be in a position to review interdependent risks in global markets with effectiveness, hence enabling a financial institution to make correct decisions. Additionally, the fact that AGI will be able to act as an intelligent advisor who feels individual financial conditions, goals, and behaviors and, in turn, avails tailored advice and strategies for the management of wealth and investment would drastically revolutionize personal finance management.

Manufacturing and Automation

Manufacturing, too, will be able to receive from AGI the next wave of automation in production processes in order to be more effective, flexible, and adaptive. While most AI systems are developed for carrying out a single specific task in a controlled environment, AGI will be able to manage complex and dynamic manufacturing systems. It learns and adapts to new manufacturing processes in flight and reconfigures lines of production in reaction to changes in demand or materials supply. It can also be very useful in predictive maintenance through the continuous monitoring of the machinery and prediction of failures well in advance, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. What is more, quality control would also be enhanced by AGI through the integration and analysis of data from various sensors during the production process, thereby enabling products of the highest standards to be turned out with less human intervention.

Education

AGI can also empower the education sector by creating individual learning experiences. AGI would turn itself into an intelligent tutor by being aware of each student's learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses. The AI would adapt the content based on the student's learning speed, as appropriate, with added resources or making it challenging. This could greatly enhance the learning outcomes and help education reach more diversified populations. AGI could also analyze data from millions of students to find the best ways of teaching and materials to use, which could really revolutionize curricula design and pedagogy. In addition, this kind of AI could take on some of the administrative work—from grading to scheduling—so teachers had time to spend more time with their students and support them directly.

Transportation and Logistics

AGI can perform route planning, fleet management, and supply chain operations at an unprecedented scale in transportation and logistics. AGI can assess real-time data from various sources: it would consider the traffic pattern, weather conditions, details of shipment, and all such aspects while optimizing the delivery routes and schedules at any given moment. This shall not only bring down costs but deliver shipments faster and more reliably. AGI can become the enabler of full autonomy in autonomous vehicles. The current generation of AI is trained on data collected and scenarios chosen beforehand; AGI would be able to deal with the most difficult and unpredictable driving situations, hence making autonomous vehicles extremely safe and reliable. Moreover, AGI could manage a fleet of autonomous vehicles that are self-deployed according to real-time demand and traffic conditions.

Entertainment and Media:

The entertainment and media industry can adopt AGI in a very huge way, thereby bringing innovation into the industry, especially considering the creation of content and experiences that are personalized in nature. AGI can generate artistic content, such as music, films, video games, at the level of human creativity or above. AGI is able to use audience preferences and trends, as analyzed by machines, to create very fitting content based on demographic profiles. AGI could also change how we view media today by recommending individual tastes and moods in real-time. It would also extend to developing personalized narratives for video games or some interactive film that changes based on the user's choice. Furthermore, AGI could assist in editing, special effects, and other production processes, and in the future, would provide quality content creation with more accessible means for smaller creators.

Legal and Compliance

In the legal domain, AGI can execute a very large number of processes, from legal research and review of contracts. It would analyze huge amounts of legal documents, case law, and statutes to give an accurate and relevant legal advisement. It could also predict the outcomes of legal disputes based on historical data, thus helping lawyers and their clients make more informed decisions. This could also ease compliance processes by continuously monitoring and analyzing changes to regulations to ensure an organization complies with the latest laws and regulations. This, therefore, would be very instrumental in heavily regulated industries such as finance, health, and manufacturing, where compliance is very important and complex. Table 6.1 shows the Artificial General Intelligence in Industry 4.0, 5.0, and Society 5.0.

Retail and E-commerce

AGI can offer a lot to the retail and e-commerce sectors regarding customer experience, inventory management, and supply chain optimization. It could facilitate very personalized shopping experiences by using customer data analysis to predict preferences and suggest correspondingly related products. AGI can track inventory in real time, build up forecasts of product demand, and optimize stock levels for minimum wastage yet maximum efficiency. AGI in supply chain management would mean using data from up and down the chain to analyze, pinpoint bottlenecks, and provide recommendations on how to fix them. This would ensure that products are delivered faster and more efficiently, thereby reducing costs and improving customer satisfaction.

Sustainability of the Environment

AGI can be critical to resolving such environmental challenges by optimizing management of the resources, driving sustainable practices across industries, analyzing environmental data, and predicting the impact on the ecosystems through industrial activities. AGI can also optimize renewable energy systems in terms of the integration of various sources of energy, energy demand forecasting, and real-time distribution management. This makes renewable energy systems more efficient, hence much faster at establishing a sustainable energy future.

Agriculture

AGI can also be of great utility to agriculture. In this case too, the key objective will be precision agriculture wherein the usage of farming practice is optimized for its productivity and sustainability. On an appropriate note, AGI is supposed to monitor, in real-time, the soil conditions, crop health, and weather patterns that facilitate an accurate adjustment in irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. Besides, AGI can offer more accurate crop yield predictions if an analysis is carried out based on a conjunction of historical data with environmental factors and real-time information from sensors. This will help farmers make more effective decisions on when to plant, when to rotate crops, and how to allocate resources. AGI can also support automation in the field related to planting and harvesting, as well as sorting and packaging, which will further increase productivity and decrease labor costs.  In livestock management, the health condition and behavior of the animals can be followed by AGI to detect the first, even slightest, symptoms of disease or distress. Such a preventive style accommodates better welfare of the animals, better productivity, and minimized losses related to sickness. Fig. 6.1 shows the Sankey diagram of Artificial General Intelligence in Industry 4.0, 5.0, and Society 5.0.

Energy Sector

In the energy sector, it can be utilized to enable worldwide optimum generation, distribution, and consumption of energy. AGI could work on load balancing in smart grids, therefore estimating demand and adjusting supply accordingly from different sources, such as renewables including solar and wind. This could lead to a more efficient and reliable energy supply, thus reducing both expenses and environmental impacts. Similarly, AGI could vastly improve the way in which the exploration and extraction of natural resources, such as oil and gas, are carried out if it can support a very much larger analysis of geological data compared to what is possible under today's technologies. By predicting failures in advance and scheduling maintenance at optimal times with minimal downtime, it may also optimize maintenance and operation at power plants. AGI could, therefore, play a huge role in developing new technologies and their optimization in the realm of renewable energy—advanced energy storage solutions to more efficient solar panels—to drive the shift towards a sustainable energy future.

Real Estate and Urban Planning

AGI can change the real estate and urban planning sectors in a way that involves sophisticated data analytics and decision-making processes. More specifically, the potential capacity of AGI can process a large stream of information associated with property markets, including economic indicators, demographic trends, and social factors, to produce more accurate predictions of property values and market trends. This would be invaluable for real estate developers, investors, and urban planning. AGI can be used in urban planning to design more efficient and sustainable cities, from optimizing the use of space to resources and infrastructure. Simulations for a range of scenarios in urban development based on population growth and trend of traffic can provide the best plans that foster livability and sustainability. AGI would further aid in the construction process by optimizing resource allocation, scheduling, and logistics toward cost reduction and increased project timelines. It will also monitor the construction process in real-time, helping to identify where the potential problem might become significant and leading to higher quality and safety standards.

Fig. 6.1 Sankey diagram of Artificial General Intelligence in Industry 4.0, 5.0, and Society 5.0

Aerospace and Defense

AGI can simply revolutionize the design, manufacturing, and operational processes of the aerospace and defense industries. AGI can help design more advanced aircraft and spacecraft by using copious amounts of data on materials, aerodynamics, and performance. Manufacturing techniques could also be optimized so that such complicated parts are made with utmost precision and quality. It may also be used in defense by enhancing autonomous systems, including drones and unmanned vehicles, by giving them adaptability and effectiveness in complex environments. AGI may assume a very significant role when it comes to cybersecurity: it will be applied in forecasting and repelling cyber threats in real-time through pattern detection and tracing of anomalies across global networks. To add to these, displacing human personnel with AGI will contribute to strategic decision-making by yielding analyses across huge pools of intelligence data, ensuring that military planners can draw insights and recommendations that consider scores of variables and potential outcomes. That capability could result in a much more informed and effective strategy for both defense and peacekeeping operations.

Telecommunications

AGI in the telecommunications industry would be very instrumental in fine-tuning the networks to improve customer experience. Other capabilities that AGI would bring on board to control and optimize communication networks will include forecasting traffic trends, detecting bottlenecks, and ensuring contiguous connections through dynamic reallocation of resources—especially in a world where demand for data is increasingly high, driven by proliferating IoT devices and the oncoming wave of 5G. AGI may have a strengthening impact on customer service using intelligent virtual assistants, possibly solving complicated problems without the need of a human mind to do so. They could analyze customer data and interactions to provide individualized support, thereby improving customer satisfaction and lowering customer churn rates. In addition, AGI may further develop and use new communication technologies, such as quantum computing and advanced encryption methods, with the provision that this specified set of telecommunications networks would not only be secure but also be efficient with evolving circumstances.

Insurance

In the insurance industry alone, AGI is likely to completely transform risk assessment, claims processing, and customer service. Using a wide spectrum of factors, it could help construct fuller individual risk profiles, such as a person's behavior, health records, environmental factors, and social trends. It would assist insurance companies in devising more personalized policies and pricing for their consumers, eventually lowering the risks for both parties. In case of claims, AGI can have applications to speed up this process by verifying entitlement, assessing damage, and computing pay-outs on the basis of detailed context analysis. With this, the insurance process can be improved in terms of time lapse, cost cutting, and probably fraud reduction. AGI will also support the development of new insurance products; give forecasts on emerging risks as well as on the opportunities brought on by the market, thus innovating companies.

Hospitality and Tourism

For the hospitality and tourism sector, AGI would create high impacts by delivering personalized customer experiences and optimized business operations. AGI could research customer preferences, behavior, and feedback to give very personalized trip recommendations about places to visit, accommodation, and activities. This level of personalization may enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. AGI could also use its optimization capabilities in operations at hotels and resorts, from booking systems to energy use. It could predict peak times and adjust the levels of staffing, pricing, and marketing respectively in order to obtain the highest revenues and efficiency.  AGI applied in the tourism sector could help develop very immersive and AI-driven experience—for example, creating virtual tour guides that can change content according to individual interests and preferences. That can make traveling much more engaging and informative. HR, with the integration of AGI, is most expected to drastically change the way it has been functioning so far. With the ability to analyze resumes, conduct interviews, and possibly predict the success rate of a candidate in a company based on data-driven insights, it will make the hiring process within companies much easier and efficient to find the right talent. It can also aid in the development of employees by personalizing programs that adjust accordingly to an employee's strengths, weaknesses, and aspirations for their career. Not only this, but AGI could also monitor employee performance and well-being to identify impending problems, such as burnout or disengagement, and thus suggest interventions that would help maintain a healthy and productive workforce. It can also be used for optimizing the workforce management, that is predicting of labor needs, managing schedules, and compliance in labor laws and regulations. This would bring about increased efficiency in operations and higher employee satisfaction.

Mining and Resource Extraction

It can use its power to optimize the mining and resource extraction industries by achieving exploration, extraction, and processing activities in the optimum possible way. AGI could analyze geology data for the discovery of new resources and reduce the time and cost associated with exploration. Similarly, the extraction process can also be optimized with respect to less environmental impact and maximize the recovery efficiency. AGI in processing operations could mean safer, more productive operations by monitoring equipment and looking out for predictive maintenance needs, optimizing resources. This would mean more sustainable and profitable operations in an industry that is often challenged by volatile markets and environmental concerns.

6.3 Opportunities of Artificial General Intelligence in Various Industries

Healthcare: Changing the Face of Patient Care and Medical Research

It is one of the key innovative areas that holds immense potential for betterment in patient care, smoothing of administrative procedures, and driving of medical research in the healthcare industry. Where Narrow AI particularly excels at very specific tasks, for example, diagnosis of diseases or image analysis in medicine, AGI could further unite and build on top of all those with the ability to interpret and process huge volumes of data from all sources. It can provide real-time, individualized health advice after going through a patient's case history, genetic information, life habits, and even environmental factors. This would help in making more accurate diagnosis, preparing better treatment plans, and detecting health problems at an early stage. More importantly, AGI can change drug discovery and development by modeling human biology and disease processes in more significant detail than has ever been possible, greatly speeding up the identification of new targets for therapy and the testing of potential treatments. Not to mention that AGI could be applied to the management of complex health-care systems, manage resource use, and reduce inefficiency in administrative processes. AGI would allow predictions in patient outcomes and hospital resource needs to be computed more accurately for better flow of patients, less waiting time, and required resources made available at the right time and appropriate location.

Finance: Improved Decision-Making and Risk Management

Already a huge adopter of AI, the finance industry is only to gain much more from such developments in AGI. In this regard, AGI can provide enhanced risk management, fraud detection, and also automate trading systems. Probably the greatest opportunity lies in decision-making. AGI could analyze vast amounts of financial data in real time—market trends, economic indicators, social media sentiment—to provide insights that are much more complete than those available to today's financial professional. That could produce better investment decisions and much more accurate predictions of market movements, along with improved portfolio management. AGI in risk management would model and simulate a wide array of economic scenarios to provide financial institutions with deeper understanding of potential risks and how to mitigate them more effectively. From this perspective, it can be argued that AGI might make a big difference in fraud detection not only by understanding and identifying patterns of fraudulent behavior across different contexts but also by adapting to new methods of fraud as they appear.

Manufacturing: Optimizing Production and Supply Chains

With the coming of AGI, this might just be the paradigm shift needed in the manufacturing industry. Much of what is associated with production today has already been transformed by automation and robotics, but AGI could take these developments to another level by bringing optimum productivity to the whole manufacturing process, from design and prototyping to production and supply chain management. AGI could thus provide the path to entirely autonomous factories, wherein machines would run not only in executing tasks but also in continuously adapting and learning to maintain production optimization. For example, AGI could look through data at every level of manufacture for inefficiencies, predict equipment breakdowns before they occur, and recommend real-time changes. This would result in reduced downtime, lower costs, and higher-quality products. Second, AGI may turn supply chain management upside down in areas that include more-accurate demand forecasting, inventory optimization at levels, and choosing routes that are most efficient in logistics. AGI can integrate data from global markets, environmental conditions, and geopolitical factors to help firms overcome complicated supply chains with acuity and flexibility never experienced.

Education: Personalized learning and Improved access

AGI in Education: AGI can offer fully personalized learning experiences adapted to the needs, abilities, and interests of each student. In contrast to current AI systems providing very limited customization based on predefined algorithms, AGI could understand and respond accordingly to the particular ways of learning of each individual, hence changing the content, pace, and even methodology of teaching. AGI could work as an intelligent tutor by providing real-time feedback, helping students around complex concepts, and offering extra resources. For the educators, AGI could help derive insights about student progress, thus pinpointing areas of difficulty and suggesting possible interventions at targeted levels. This kind of personalization can help bridge educational gaps and, therefore, offer all students a fair chance to succeed. Moreover, it can improve the accessibility of education through real-time language translation, adaptation of learning material for differently-abled students, and even creation of virtual classrooms whereby students from all over the world can learn together in a collaborative environment.

Entertainment: Producing Immersive Experiences and New Forms of Content

The entertainment sector is another platform in which AGI could leave a good mark. AGI really might include totally new forms of entertainment that are ever more interactive, immersive, and personalized, completely changing content creation and consumption. For instance, in video games, AGI will come up with dynamic and adaptive narratives in reaction to the acts and preferences of particular gamers, hence creating unique experiences for each individual. AGI applications in film and television can help in writing, editing, and even making a movie, pushing new creativity into existence. It could also turn out quite new forms of content, like virtual reality experiences that cannot be distinguished from reality. Moreover, AGI could use viewer data to suggest content that would accord perfectly with individual tastes, whereby in that case, it would increase engagement and raise satisfaction. This high level of personalization could extend further into marketing, whereby AGI would create highly targeted campaigns that would resonate deeper with audiences.
