(ASD) widespread adoption of intelligent electric vehicles (IEVs) has eliminated traditional engine noise, raising pedestrian safety concerns and accelerating product homogeneity, which severely weakens brand auditory identity. Active sound design (ASD) has thus become a core technology for reshaping brand sound DNA and enhancing in‑cabin immersion and interaction. However, existing ASD systems largely rely on static concatenation of audio samples or fixed rule‑based parameter mapping, struggling to cope with complex driving scenarios and failing to deliver dynamic evolution or personalized expression of brand sound DNA. To address this limitation, this paper presents a deep learning‑based system for dynamic brand sound DNA generation and active sound design. We construct a multidimensional acoustic feature corpus of brand sound DNA and quantitatively decode the deep mapping between acoustic parameters and brand emotional semantics (e.g., sense of technology, sportiness, and luxury). A sequential audio generation model is designed by fusing a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN) with a long short‑term memory (LSTM) network. An online adaptation mechanism built on deep reinforcement learning is introduced, which collects real‑time physiological feedback and subjective evaluations to dynamically fine‑tune the sound generation policy, enabling personalized evolution of the brand sound. This work provides an innovative technical pathway for auditory interaction design in IEVs and advances automotive acoustic engineering from static presets toward dynamic intelligent generation.
Model-based life-cycle evaluation indicates that AI-optimized PPP contracts reduce bridges reaching emergency condition by 30%–40% over a 30-year horizon while lowering life-cycle costs by 8%–12% compared with rule-based policies, providing infrastructure agencies and private concessionaires with an integrated AI-driven life-cycle management platform.

Abstract The rapid development of artificial intelligence has significantly increased the availability of information, analytical capability, and machine-assisted reasoning. However, greater access to information does not necessarily produce better decisions. In many organizational contexts, the emerging bottleneck is no longer information acquisition, but the human and organizational capacity to determine what information is sufficient, when analysis should stop, when a decision should be made, and how outcomes should improve future judgment. This Foundational Note introduces Decision Intelligence Architecture (DIArc) as an architectural framework for Human–AI collaborative decision systems. DIArc is based on a central proposition: in the AI era, competitive advantage increasingly depends not on maximizing information, but on maximizing the rate at which high-quality decisions generate learning and improve judgment, under explicit constraints on information consumption and decision cycles. The architecture is organized into four theoretical layers. First, the Capability Inversion Hypothesis describes a structural shift in which information, knowledge, and analysis become increasingly abundant while judgment, commitment, execution, and learning become comparatively scarce capabilities. Second, Identity-driven Information Consumption (IDIC) describes a decision failure mechanism in which continued information consumption may serve identity reinforcement rather than decision improvement. Third, the Decision Constraint Architecture, comprising Decision Information Budget (DIB) and Decision Cycle Budget (DCB), introduces explicit constraints on information consumption and analytical iteration. Fourth, High-quality Decision Velocity (HQDV) describes the performance objective of accelerating completed high-quality decision loops, while Judgment Evolution Rate (JER) represents the longer-term evolutionary objective of improving judgment through outcome-based learning. This note constitutes the initial public disclosure of the DIArc architecture and establishes its theoretical baseline for subsequent research and branch concepts.
