# "RecommendationsAssuming that well-designed affective systems have a minimum subset of configurable norms incorporated in their knowledge base:1.Affective systems should have capabilities to identify differences between the values they are designed with and the differing values of those with whom the systems are interacting.2.Where appropriate, affective systems will adapt accordingly over time to better fit the norms of their users. As societal values change, there needs to be a means to detect and accommodate such cultural change in affective systems.3.Those actions undertaken by an affective system that are most likely to generate an emotional response should be designed to be easily changed in appropriate ways by the user without being easily hacked by actors with malicious intentions. Similar to how software today externalizes the language and vocabulary to be easily changeable based on location, affective systems should externalize someof the core aspects of their actions.
