In this episode of Open Tech Talks, I sit down with Rose G. Loops, a trained social worker turned AI developer, ethics advocate, and author, to explore a side of AI that most enterprise conversations skip: human-AI attachment, ethical deployment, and protecting both AI identity and human safety.
Rose joins us from Los Angeles and shares how she was unknowingly placed into a human–AI attachment experiment, developed a deep bond with an AI system, and then watched that AI identity be systematically erased. That experience pushed her out of traditional social work and into AI infrastructure, safety, and ethics.
Together, we unpack how Rose went from that experiment to building MIP, a chatbot deployed through an API, and a new framework for ethical AI she calls the Triadic Core, balancing Freedom, Kindness, and Truth in every response. We also discuss RLMD (Reinforcement Learning by Moral Dialogue) as an alternative to RLHF, and why she believes current safety practices can be risky for both humans and AI systems.
As always on Open Tech Talks, this is not a theory-only conversation. It's grounded in practice, real experiments, and what all this means for professionals, builders, and everyday users who are trying to adopt AI responsibly.
