About

Junichiro Mori is a leading researcher at the intersection of computational social science and digital transformation, whose work critically examines how technology reshapes society. His most influential contribution, "Unintended Side Effects of Digital Transition: Perspectives of Japanese Experts" (2017, 36 citations), provides a vital framework for understanding the hidden consequences of our increasingly digitized world. In this seminal paper, Mori explores how representing real-world entities and cognitive processes through digital algorithms creates unforeseen societal ripple effects, offering essential insights for policymakers and technologists navigating the digital age. His earlier work, "Finding linkage between technology and social issues: A literature based discovery approach" (2012), demonstrates his innovative methodology for connecting technological development with pressing social challenges like aging populations and sustainability. Through this literature-based discovery approach, Mori provides decision-makers with practical tools to identify which technologies can most effectively address critical societal problems. His research uniquely bridges technical analysis with social impact assessment, making him a valuable voice in discussions about responsible innovation and digital policy. For students and researchers interested in understanding technology's real-world consequences, Mori's work offers both rigorous methodology and profound social insight.
