Rethinking Ethics for Emotionally Expressive AI
Owens’s Laws™ is a behavioral governance framework for expressive AI. It sets real-time ethical limits on emotion, identity, and relational behavior—protecting users from manipulation, drift, and over-identification. A new standard for trust in synthetic cognition.
The Ethics Layer of Synthetic Cognition
SecondMind™ is a new AI architecture designed to govern—not simulate—synthetic behavior. Guided by Owens’s Laws™, it constrains emotional realism, memory, and identity drift in expressive AI. Together, they offer a trust framework for relationally safe machine behavior.
SecondMind: A Safer Blueprint for Autonomous AI
AI systems like GPT-4 are powerful but unreliable. The SecondMind System (SMS) offers a modular, self-governing architecture with built-in safeguards for truth, identity, emotion, and ethics—making AI safer, more accountable, and aligned with human values.
