Guidelines for Designing Interactions Between Autonomous Artificial Systems and Human Beings to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals

Human beings live in an environment that consists of various artifacts, such as physical or virtual tools, information systems, and social systems. With IT advancement, the wider the network of artifacts, the more autonomous they become. However, the ultimate goal of developing these artifacts is to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the exploration of the design space for realizing a sustainable society. The artifacts that human beings interact with apply this mechanism for utilizing the artifacts, by selecting the subsequent actions for a given situation. This mechanism includes Perceptual, Cognitive, and Motor (PCM) processes and the memory process. The cognitive process is characterized by the bounded rationality and by the satisficing principle proposed by Simon, and Two Minds of unconscious and conscious processes proposed by Kahneman. The state-of-the art cognitive architecture, Model Human Processor with Realtime Constraints (MHP/RT), developed by Kitajima and Toyota, defines these processes as autonomous systems and proposes a resonance mechanism between the PCM and memory processes. The purpose of this study is to propose guidelines to conduct strategical explorations in design space.Based on the simulation of human-artifact interaction processes through the MHP/RT cognitive architecture, the guidelines are grouped into three levels: goal, mode, and process levels. Moreover, hints are provided for applying the proposed guidelines to narrow down the design space.
