BRIDGING HUMAN INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE INNOVATION THROUGH THE INTEGRATION OF AI AND CYBERNETICS

Abstract

The intersection point between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cybernetics offers a revolutionary basis of hybrid intelligence systems and combining human cognitive flexibility with machine accuracy, automation and scalability. Cybernetics, based on the principles of feedback-based control and communication put forward by Wiener, provides the mechanisms of control required to have an adaptive behavior, whereas AI provides computational learning, reasoning and autonomous decision-making. Although much has been achieved in both areas, there still exists a great gap in creating a cohesive system that could coordinate human intelligence and machine innovation in a dynamic ethically aligned system. The fundamental issue that will be discussed in this paper is that there is no integrated and feedback-based hybrid intelligence architecture where human cognition functions as a part and parcel and not as an overseer. To remedy this, the paper suggests a new AI-Cybernetic Integration Framework that includes three layers: a Cognitive Computation Layer that uses machine learning to simulate the behavior of the human patternry and predictive reasoning a Cybernetic Feedback Regulation Layer that allows self-correction and adaptive control in real-time, and an Ethical and Human-Centered Oversight Layer that makes sure that the value is aligned and responsible decision making. So far as we know, this framework is the first systematic framework that integrates cybernetic feedback, cognitive computation and ethical governance in a single adaptive architecture. The evaluation of the system performance was conducted using a mixed-methods approach that incorporated formal theoretical modeling, computational simulations based on multi-scenario analysis and comparative analysis based on the stability, accuracy and resilience metrics. Findings suggest that there are quantifiable improvements, where decision accuracy, operational stability, and uncertainty resilience improve by up to 15, 22, and 18 percent relative to non-cybernetic AI baselines. The main problems are interpretability of the models, calibration of trust, data privacy and possible overload of feedback. The paper suggests open feedback loop, dynamic thresholds and governance systems to address these problems. Comprehensively, the results support the view that cybernetic control coupled with AI learning helps to enhance the technological strength, elevate ethical responsibility and deliver substantial socioeconomic value, making hybrid intelligence a key value generator of sustainable innovation in the Fifth Industrial Revolution.
