With this paper we provide the first conceptualization of the human-machine symbiosis (HMS) and make three important contributions: we present the fundamentals of HMS by focusing on objectives, requirements, and boundaries; we propose a framework for the design of HMS; and we review HMS research and, specifically, what the literature says with respect to whether HMS has already been achieved. %B Proceedings of the 53rd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences %V 3 %P 289–298 %@ 9780998133133 %G eng %R 10.24251/hicss.2020.036
