In the current article, we discuss the systematic, methodological and psychological problems arising in the evolution process and global technogenic environments, and their agents' role. We present the scientific prerequisites of the human integration with the technogenic environment and explore the psychological problems of the technogenic improvement of a human personality, with a focus on the contradiction between "the complex world and simple consciousness", limited by a person's ability of adaptation to the complex environments and group activity in the technogenic environment. The organized character of the technogenic environment is associated with the creative qualities of man and society, which are a system consequence of the interaction between the social and psychobiological autopoietic systems, which implement the principle of a total autopoetic organization of the human-dimension systems. Appearance of robots and mechanistic modules solving local tasks in the technogenic environment results in the problem of coexistence of humans and autonomous engineering systems with artificial intelligence. This requires an understanding of the questions of interaction with of the self-organizing autopoietic systems, which differ from the classical physical interaction. The ergonomics and engineering disciplines face new challenges associated with the human factor in the development of complex technical environments and systems, including humans as actors in the artificial environment. At that, the classical disciplinary fields of ergonomics and engineering psychology transfer to the neoclassical ideas of self-organization and self-development of the complex systems and environments, which extends and complements their conceptual area. Integration of the humanities and engineering knowledge requires higher levels of the psychological education for the developers of the complex technical ergonomic systems and environments.
