Abstract

In order to make full use of the potential of new technologies including artificial intelligence, it is necessary to switch to a way of thinking and working that is friendly to technology. Regarding this subject, this paper takes up the concept of "self-evolvability" as one of the cues. Self-evolvability is defined as a mixed concept of meta-cognition, informating everything, and pursuing a shared benefit and desire of self-change. Using a survey result, we quantitatively analyzed the relationship between self-evolvability, acceptance of new technologies, provision of data, and approval/disapproval of changes in working style. We confirmed a positive effect of self-evolvability on the acceptance of new technologies even after controlling for personal attributes, cognitive and non-cognitive ability, and economic preference. The results imply that self-evolvability can be regarded as an important factor for smooth implementation of new technologies in the society.
