本研究旨在开发多层次的风险控制系统和一种新的法律的理论，用于分析由于人类与先进技术之间的不匹配而有时发生的疏忽。三个研究单位（即，人的因素研究部、权力和责任研究部和技术援助研究部）被确定为发展（1）分析对先进技术的过度信任和过度依赖的基本理论，（2）评估技术设计的新法律的框架，和（3）实施多层风险控制系统的方法。

This study aims to develop multi-layered risk control systems and a new legal theory for analyzing negligence that sometimes occurs due to mismatches between humans and advanced technology. Three research units (viz., the human factors research unit, the authority and responsibility research unit, and the technological assistance research unit) are defined to develop (1) basic theories for analyzing overtrust in and overreliance on advanced technology, (2) a new legal framework for evaluating technological designs, and (3) methods for implementing multi-layered risk control systems.
