Towards a Balanced Analysis for a More Intelligent Human Systems Integration

With the increasing intelligence and power of machines, an intelligent integration of these machines with people, organizations and the environment becomes ever more crucial. This results in a number of tension fields, for both scientists and practitioner: Being too critical or analytical without sufficient synthesis and constructiveness will slow down technical and societal progress, being not critical enough might be faster in the beginning, but might have an even larger bad effect in the long run. Only a proper, dynamic balance of these approaches can bring real progress. Within the critical and analytical part itself are tension fields as well; e.g. different system qualities or different stakeholders which need to be balanced intelligently by us human systems integrators. This paper therefore discusses the tension fields within the critical and analytical aspect and discusses them with examples from vehicle automation and human autonomy teaming.
