Sustainable urban resource stewardship requires AI systems that are both technically robust and socially aligned. Traditional interventions for public cleanliness, such as static signage, frequently fail due to "banner blindness" and a lack of situational context. This concept introduces HARMONY (Human-Trusted AI and Resilient Multimodal Orchestration Framework for Enhancing Normative Trust in Society), a conceptual framework for human-trusted multimodal orchestration designed to foster pro-social behaviors through non-coercive "nudging."
HARMONY FRAMEWORK ARCHITECTURE
Human-Trusted AI & Resilient Multimodal Orchestration
LAYER 1
Governance & Trustworthiness (Trust Layer)
NIST AI RMF 1.0
EU Ethics Guidelines
OECD AI Principles
ISO/IEC 23894:2023
LAYER 2
Situational Awareness (Multimodal Input)
Visual
Computer Vision (CV)
State: Bad Behavior Detection
Auditory
Ambient Noise Sensing
Contextual Volume Control
Environmental
Crowding / Light / Time
Modality Weighting Logic
HARMONY AGENT #1 CORE
1. CORRECTIVE NUDGE
"Please, throw your garbage in the bin."
Goal: Increase Norm Salience
→
2. GRATITUDE LOOP
"Thank you for keeping us clean!"
Goal: Positive Reinforcement
Logic Synthesis: B = MAP (Motivation, Ability, Prompt)
LAYER 3
Societal Impact (Evaluation)
Technical Outcomes
- Multimodal Resilience
- Correct Disposal Rate (CDR)
- Interactional Politeness Score
Philosophical Outcomes
- Enhanced Normative Trust
- Social Stewardship
- Civic Habit Formation
