Abstract

Japan has established a strategic and concrete plan to respond in advance to the forthcoming Industrial Revolution era. The Fourth Industrial Revolution Strategy in Japan is divided into two types of strategies of utilizing strength and complementing weaknesses. The former belongs to 'real data utilization' and 'new robot development', and the latter belongs to 'global issues Solution'. In particular, the Japanese government is more aggressive than any other country in introducing the Japanese version of the Regulatory Sandbox system as a social verification system for the realization of the Society 5.0, which is regarded as the cornerstone of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This study examines the key strategies presented in the main documents relating to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and based on this consideration, we propose a suggestion worthy of reference when Korea develops the response strategy of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

일본은 다가올 제4차 산업혁명 시대에 선제적으로 대응하기 위해 전략적이면서도 구체적인 계획을 수립하였다. 일본의 제4차 산업혁명 대응 전략은 강점 활용 전략과 약점 보완 전략의 두 가지로 나누어지는데, 전자에 속하는 것이 '현실 데이터 활용' 및 '신 로봇 개발'이며, 후자에 속하는 것이 '글로벌 이슈 해결'이다. 특히 일본 정부는 제4차 산업혁명의 지향점이라 할 수 있는 Society 5.0 실현을 위한 사회 실증 제도로 일본판 '규제 샌드 박스' 제도 도입과 관련하여 다른 어떤 국가들보다 적극적 입장을 취하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 제4차 산업혁명 관련 주요 문건들에서 제시하는 주요 전략을 고찰하고, 이 고찰을 토대로 한국이 제4차 산업혁명 대응전략을 수립할 때 참고할 만한 시사점들을 제시한다.
