EVOLUTION OF MIND, LIFE AND SOCIETY RESEARCH INSTITUTE

‘It is the fundamental right of each and every one of us to live own Calling and deepen true fulfillment
by contributing to a future global society with own World Vision.’
Dr Yohko Hatada

Every individual has a tremendous potential to live and experience a deep fulfillment with pursuing own truest passion which consequently advance the world democracy and evolve the globally interdependent ecosystem.

The Evolution of Mind, Life and Society Research Institute (EMLS RI) researches for better future global society evolution. It proposes policies, institutions and mechanisms for governments, organizations and individuals. It helps to support, secure and to evolve Humanity, Democratic processes and Symbiotic information ecosystem, including life and non-life of all.

The mechanisms: strategic institutional infrastructure building as outlined below, including constructive information flow ecosystem, global political economy and global AI governance.

  1. E HDS: Evolvability of Humanity, Democratic processes and Symbiotic information
    ecosystem, including life and non-life of all, increase as global civilization develops.
  2. All individuals hold unique Calling as a drive of Agency: to pursue throughout life as
    Life-Work. Each of us lives own Calling to realise own World Vision of E HDS, which
    deepens peaceful fulfilment and furthers genuine responsibility to lead the world
    from conflicts to a co-operative order. This World Vision goes beyond own interest,
    through diligent creative actions for own ideal world based on deeper understanding
    of interdependence in the global ecosystem.
  3. Alignment of diverse Agencies in different contexts is important in the individual:
    Individuals play multiple roles in diverse contexts in everyday life. Solving the
    conflicts among them deepens understanding of own World Vision and brings
    capacity to further contributions to the real world creation through your Calling Life-
    Work actions.
  4. Global governance must secure life: Global governance must guarantee the
    developing quality of life of all citizens, organizations / environmental ecosystem as
    global civilization to thrive and evolve with accountable institution frameworks and
    coordinated collaborative efforts, including crisis governance.
  5. Engineering global institutions: Global information ecosystems must make
    international citizens understand what are happening, can be predicted, and need to
    be done, through vigilant detection and expert alarm, timely decision making of
    solutions and actions coordination. The systems require dynamic flexible institution
    network ecosystems supported by appropriate managing strategies. These must be
    based on scientific analysis, experts understanding, creating solutions and constantly
    improving performance and outcome values.
  6. Two facets of evolution – objectivity and subjectivity – interplay: Objective system
    evolution must be measurable in value increase in HDS. Subjective fulfilment is a
    drive of diligent actions for realizing own World Vision, even in the process of death,
    as a subjective reflectively recognizable evolution. These two facets of evolution
    continue to evolve as Evolvability.

SUMMARY OF RECENT PROJECTS

2019 – Present ECPAIS (IEEE Ethics Certification Program for Autonomous and Intelligent System)
  • The goal of ECPAIS is to create specifications for certification and marking processes that advance transparency, accountability and reduction in algorithmic bias in Autonomous and Intelligent Systems (A/IS).
  • The three areas for which ECPAIS is developing criteria and processes for a Certification / mark are: Transparency in A/IS; Accountability in A/IS and Algorithmic Bias in A/IS.
  • Hatada contributes all the three expert working groups: Certification for Transparency, Accountability and Algorithmic Bias.
2018 – 2019 European Parliament Research Services, Science Technology Options Assessment for “A governance framework for algorithmic accountability and transparency”.
  • Report on policy options for governance of algorithmic systems based on review of
    current state of the art, focusing on algorithmic impact on democratic processes and human wellbeing.
  • Four policy options are proposed to address:
    1. awareness raising;
    2. accountability in public sector use;
    3. regulatory oversight;
    4. and global coordination for algorithmic governance
2017 – present IEEE P7003 Standard for Algorithmic Bias Considerations working group
  • This standards project working group is part of the IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics for Autonomous and Intelligent System.
  • Dr. Hatada leads two sections: “Conception and Conceptualization of project”, “Psychology and Culture”.
2015 – present Alternative Global Future Society. Needs for Paradigm-shift to E HDS: Evolvability of Humanity, Democracy & Symbiosis of life-nonlife-information
  • Individual identity develops through living own Calling in Life-Work with own World Vision.
  • Society should guarantee a political environment where each individual and all global citizens flourish to their fullest potential.  Each individual agency and sovereign society must constructively enhance each other through / in the global political economic financial monetary legal functions and institutions.
  • Research proposing alternative global future society and the paths towards them.
2013– present The importance of agency and its societal condition for “Calling Right”
  • The importance of “Calling”, searched and defined true connection to the self which gives authentic peaceful fulfilling confidence of integrity within the self and makes one want to contribute to the world with own passionate talent. Calling is the guide for life-long individual development with desire to live own true life, contribute and create the world by own World Vision of a better world.
  • Development of programmes to help individuals and global society using based on academic expertise of evolution, development, adaptation; cognitive computational neuroscience, neuroscientific consciousness studies, ecology, system sciences; Buddhism self-science, metaphysics and practice system; music anthropology; political / cultural understanding through working in the West and East.
