Abstract
This article explores the intricate connections between economic, (geo)political, societal, scientific, and environmental factors aiming to foster dialogue on leveraging past developments for a desirable future (e.g. “Green ICT”, “Society 6.0”). Utilizing the Quintuple-Innovation-Helix-plus-AI Framework (QIH + AI), which integrates policy, economy, science, society, and environment (planet) as interrelated strands, the study emphasizes the significance of knowledge flows in shaping these domains.
The research identifies a gap in applying the QIH + AI model to the semiconductor industry and proposes a retrospective analysis of historical milestones to elucidate the evolution of this sector. By mapping these milestones onto QIH + AI, we demonstrate the dynamic interconnections among the strands and the influence of AI on the overall system development. Thus, we present a historical examination at a meta level (analogy: learning vs. learning-how-to-learn vs learning-to-learn-how-to-learn). This has not been a subject of research so far, constituting a notable gap.
The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and industry leaders in navigating the complexities of technological advancements within the semiconductor landscape, ultimately contributing to a holistic understanding of the interplay between policy, economy, technology, society, and the environment.
