Project Details
Updated 07/22/26 · Provided via application · VerifiedEvery AI safety tool on the market detect harmful content and messages against rigid rules. But emotional harm does not show up in one message. It builds quietly over time - user-relative, relational and cumulative, thus cannot be detected by static, rule-based methods.
I replace static methods with dynamic, pattern-based methods - converting the back-and-forth human-AI interactions into sound and music, a tangible signal to be measured over time, so emotional harm can be detectable before it escalates.
Global regulations are already demanding emotional AI safety. For instance, California SB 243 banned engagement-maximising design and required third-party audits, and three other jurisdictions (EU State, EU, China) are all pushing similar rules.

So my goal at this stage is:**
To build an engine that translates the human-AI interaction's emotional dynamics into sound and music signals, so affective harm patterns like over-attachment, manipulation or isolation become measurable and detectable.
Theory of Impact
Updated 07/22/26 · By grantmaking.aiPeople think of AI risks as one catastrophic action, but there is a slower version: an AI system that learns to keep users engaged and dependent over time without anyone noticing it happening. That is not a single bad output, but a gradual erosion of a person's judgement, autonomy and independence.
Right now, there are no methods and tools to ensure AI is emotion-safe. Every safety tools only detect harmful message and content, not the harmful relationships building beneath them.
So, what I am building can measure and detect the harmful relationships, more specifically, affective harms like dependency and manipulation, by turning the emotional trajectory of a human-AI interaction into signals of sound and music.
If we want humans to stay able to notice and correct course as AI gets more capable, we need a visible way to see that erosion while it's happening, not after.
