Hopes and Fears
Thanks to the breakthrough of information and communication technologies we are now at the age where computer network (AI (Artificial Intelligence) network) perceive and put its own thoughts autonomously like humans on images, sounds, and characters digitalized. In some part AI has already surpassed human talent and intelligence

We are forced to design society and economy with proper utilization of these innovative digital technologies and to exercise our imagination on how they can be designed with hopes and fears.

It is indispensable that we should make debate and argument on fundamental design concept on what kind of entities and on how such entities act in order to secure that organization which provides high level of social services can function properly as social infrastructure where AI are autonomously connecting and freely networking with computer networks.

In the modern society social entities are nation-centric, and economic entities are corporates. Modern corporates emerged since the end of 19^th century. In the early 20^th century we experienced the age of hegemony war with nation-centric.

Since then remarkable innovation of digital technologies made it rapidly possible that global economic activities are expanded with corporate-centric.

Evolution of Hardware
The modern society has been evolved and progressed with technological innovation. Starting from the age of industrial revolution up to the age of the World War the technologies contributed to the evolution of hardware for the industries. Innovation and sophistication of machinery enabled that human operation was shifted to automatic machine operation, thus bringing the age of industrial society with mass-production capability.

Technologies were considered as capital resources for economic growth, bringing profits to corporates and securing industrial competitiveness for nation.

Digital technologies supported by autonomous and flexible AI network will evolve software.

Such society is now emerged and established as AI can make intelligent analysis and processing of a huge amount of information and data stored in cloud network while human is connected and networked with a variety of application software and with information terminals and devices.

Increasing Potential
In the information space communities are formed, and, there is increasing potential to design and create a variety of economic organizations suitably corresponding with the every-changing situation while entities are involved directly in advanced technological development and in the creation of new services.

In the information society of the 21^st century the digital technologies are supporting and standardizing high level economic structure where human behavior and identity are reviewed and redefined. We are now heading for the age of Polymorphic networking.

Society and daily life or economic and management are made of a variety of entities and they are all visualized and perceived in the digital infrastructure.  AI autonomously and automatically processes the information and data consumed and created at each time and occasion and proposes the needed assistance.

New social structures are now potentially expanding.
