The article is based on literature review and theoretical discussions from a critical perspective, centering on the Japanese model, which used the concept of society 5.0 for the first time. In this axis, the study presents the concept of industry 4.0 in general terms, followed by the emergence, characteristics and definitions of society 5.0. After the relationship between data and capitalism of the concept of society 5.0, which is the ultimate point of the current society debates, is revealed, it is evaluated on the axis of the concepts of panopticon and alienation. As a result, the concept of society 5.0 is interpreted as an area where capitalism reproduces its own internal contradictions despite the ideals it offers.}, number={1}, publisher={Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi}
