Automation is usually framed as either an electricity cost or an efficiency gain. This working paper argues that both framings omit a critical planning term: the electricity and broader energy-system access required to support the human activity made possible when compulsory work is reduced. It identifies a dual expansion mechanism in which cheaper machine intelligence may increase machine-side electricity demand while released human time may increase human-side activity and energy use. The paper introduces Human Energy Allocation as a planning lens and uses Japan as its first field edition because the country’s FY2026–FY2035 electricity forecast explicitly identifies data-centre and semiconductor demand. The historical analysis finds no reliable fixed electricity–freedom breakpoint across the preferred cross-sections. The paper therefore reaches a narrow normative conclusion: current constrained demand should not be treated as either a planning target or a moral ceiling.
Human activity recognition (HAR) using sensor data allows the automatic detection of human behavior and actions in everyday environments. The development of scalable and privacy-preserving HAR systems is supported by the nonintrusive collection of time-series data using wearable…
