Defining Human-Centricity, especially considering the change from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0 remains to be a significant challenge.

Currently, the concept lacks a clear definition and application within the scientific literature. To tackle this research gap, the paper “Exploring Human-Centricity in Industry 5.0: Empirical Insights from a Social Media Discourse” by Antonio Padovano, Martina Cardamone, Manuel Woschank, & Corina Pacher analyzes various public opinions on the matter that have been shared on Social Media. 

By measuring public opinion throughout the last five years with the help of LinkedIn posts, as well as text mining techniques & including semantic clustering, the authors are able to identify key themes. For instance, public opinion mainly revolves around the skills of the future workforce (hard & soft skills), as well as gender equity and workplace comfort.
