“…In hunter-gatherer and agricultural societies, information was used for survival, i.e. seeking food and avoiding danger, while in industrial societies, it was used to accumulate material wealth (Nishida, 2016). It is worth noting the differences between Society 4.0 and 5.0.…”

“…We believe that human and social potentials complement each other to enable conviviality. (Nishida 2016, p. xii) The results of the research program are summarized in Nishida (2016) and Nishida (2017). Interestingly, Takt played an important role in multiple of the individual research projects, such as in Hiroshi Ishiguro's minimal design approach towards transmitting human presence (sonyaikan) through androids (Ishiguro 2016).…”

To become more broadly applicable, positions on AI ethics require perspectives from non-Western regions and cultures such as China and Japan. In this paper, we propose that the addition of the concept of harmony to the discussion on ethical AI would be highly beneficial due to its centrality in East Asian cultures and its applicability to the challenge of designing AI for social good. We first present a synopsis of different definitions of harmony in multiple contexts, such as music and society, which reveals that the concept is, at its core, about well-balanced relationships and appropriate actions which give rise to order, balance, and aesthetically pleasing phenomena. The mediator for these well-balanced relationships is Takt which is an ability to act thoughtfully and sensibly according to the specific situation and to put things into proportion and order. We propose that the central challenge of building harmonizing AI is to make intelligent systems tactful and also to design and use them tactfully. For an AI system to become tactful, it needs to be able to have an advanced sensitivity to the specific contexts which it is in and their social and ethical implications and have the capability of approximately inferring the emotional and cognitive states of people with whom it is interacting.
