Abstract—The rapid changes and development of technology
are always bringing social challenges to societies and human
daily life. The industrial revolution changed the face of the
earth in an unprecedented way. Likewise does the emergence of
Society 5.0. This study investigates the impact of technology of
the future smart society on the quality of life taking Switzerland
as an example with keeping an eye on the opportunity-risk
analysis. Five measurable variables were defined to run the
forecast. The outcomes predict slight improvement of the
financial situation in the society collectively, but it is
accompanied with job shortage in some sectors. The study and
results presented in this paper are part of an ongoing
comprehensive research project on Smart Sovereignty in a
forthcoming smart society.
Index Terms—Forecast, AR model, regression analysis,
quality of life, smart society, society 5.0 (S5.0), Switzerland.
