# The Future of the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) in Society 5.0
## 7 Conclusions and Outlook  
Human-machine interaction (HMI) is a crucial aspect of Society 5.0, in which technology is leveraged for solving social challenges and improving quality of life. The key objective of HMI is to create a harmonious relationship between humans and machines where they work together towards a common goal. This is achieved by focusing on the strengths of each component, with machines handling tasks that require speed and accuracy while humans focus on tasks that require creativity, critical thinking, and empathy. One of the primary challenges in achieving effective HMI is ensuring that machines are designed to be user-friendly, transparent, and accessible. To achieve this, designers must take into account the diverse needs of users, including those with disabilities and elderly populations. Additionally, ethical considerations, such as privacy protection, must be taken into account. Another critical aspect of HMI in Society 5.0 is the development of human digital twins, which are virtual representations of humans that can be used for simulations and predictive analysis. Human digital twins have the potential to revolutionize healthcare, education, and other fields by enabling more accurate and personalized interventions. To fully realize the potential of HMI in Society 5.0, collaboration and cooperation across multiple fields, including technology, social sciences, and humanities, is required. This will require a multidisciplinary approach that prioritizes diversity and inclusivity. In conclusion, HMI is a vital component of Society 5.0, enabling technology to be harnessed for social good. While challenges remain, including ethical considerations and the development of accessible and user-friendly interfaces, the potential benefits of HMI are vast, and a collaborative approach is key to realizing them. The key takeaway from the presented research work is to raise awareness on the integration of machines with humans in order to realize what has been defined as the Humanic. It has to be stressed that machines should be not treated as threats or competitors to humankind. On the contrary, it is suggested to treat them as a set of useful tools in order to vastly expand our capabilities and mitigate the limitations of humankind as we know them. Undeniably, in the long term, the replacement of human operators and workers might be more financially profitable. However, it is more ethical for society to provide certain tools to augment professionals rather than replacing them. The misuse of Artificial Intelligence methods is capable of and has already caused major problems. Decisions that may affect people should be made by people. \begin{table}
