Research Abstract

This research aims to develop AI that facilitates human win-win decision-making and resolves social dilemmas ubiquitous in real society. The project will achieve: accurate inference of individuals’ multidimensional, complex, and dynamic cognitive-affective states; multi-objective optimization generating win-win solutions with high satisfaction levels; and generation of behavior change signals that ensure psychiatric safety while preserving individual autonomy. Through this approach, we will establish a formal framework that guarantees the reliability and safety of theory of mind in AI. The approach will be validated through game-theoretic scenarios, customer support applications, and high-stakes shared medical decision-making tasks.
