The Counterfactual Assessment and Valuation for Awareness Architecture (CAVAA) project proposes that awareness serves survival in a world governed by hidden states, to deal with the “invisible”, from unexplored environments to social interaction that depends on the internal states of agents and moral norms . Awareness reflects a virtual world, a hybrid of perceptual evidence, memory states, and inferred “unobservables”, extended in space and time. The CAVAA project will realize a theory of awareness instantiated as an integrated computational architecture and its components to explain awareness in biological systems and engineer it in technological ones. It will realize underlying computational components of perception, memory, virtualization, simulation, and integration, embody the architecture in robots and artificial agents, validate it across a range of use-cases involving the interaction between multiple humans and artificial agents, using accepted measures and behavioural correlates of awareness. Use cases will address robot foraging, social robotics, computer game benchmarks and human-generated decision trees in a health coach. These benchmarks will focus on resolving trade-offs, e.g. between search efficiency and robustness, and assess the acceptance of human users of aware technology. CAVAA’s awareness engineering is accompanied by an ethics framework towards human users and aware artefacts in the broader spectrum of trustworthy AI, considering shared ontologies, intention complementarity, and behavioural matching, an empathy, relevance of outcomes, reciprocity, counterfactuals and projections towards new future scenarios, and to predict the impact of choices. CAVAA will deliver a better user experience because of its explainability, adaptability, and legibility. CAVAA’s integrated framework redefines how we look at the relationship between humans, other species and smart technologies because it makes the invisible visible.

意识架构的反事实评估和估价（CAVAA）项目提出，意识服务于在隐藏状态统治的世界中生存，处理“看不见的”，从未探索的环境到依赖于主体内部状态和道德规范的社会互动。意识反映了一个虚拟世界，是感知证据、记忆状态和推断的“不可观察到的”的混合体，在空间和时间上延伸。 CAVAA 项目将实现一种意识理论，实例化为集成计算架构及其组件，以解释生物系统中的意识并在技术系统中对其进行设计。它将实现感知、记忆、虚拟化、模拟和集成的底层计算组件，体现机器人和人工智能体中的架构，使用公认的措施和意识的行为相关性，在涉及多个人类和人工智能体之间交互的一系列用例中验证它。用例将涉及机器人觅食、社交机器人、计算机游戏基准和健康教练中人类生成的决策树。这些基准将侧重于解决权衡问题，例如搜索效率和鲁棒性之间的关系，并评估人类用户对感知技术的接受程度。 CAVAA 的意识工程伴随着针对人类用户和更广泛的值得信赖的人工智能中的意识人工制品的道德框架，考虑共享本体、意图互补性和行为匹配、同理心、结果的相关性、互惠性、反事实和对新的未来场景的预测，并预测选择的影响。由于其可解释性、适应性和易读性，CAVAA 将提供更好的用户体验。 CAVAA 的集成框架重新定义了我们如何看待人类、其他物种和智能技术之间的关系，因为它使不可见的变得可见。
