HEART ADVISORY SERVICES
Strategic Counsel for Emotional AI Governance
The Challenge
AI systems increasingly engage human emotions — detecting feelings, responding to distress, simulating care. But most organizations building or deploying these systems lack frameworks for ensuring they protect rather than exploit human empathy.
Regulation is coming. The question is whether you’re ahead of it or responding to it.
What I Offer
I provide strategic counsel for organizations navigating the emerging landscape of emotional AI governance. My work draws from the HEART Framework — the first constitutional governance architecture for emotional AI — and fourteen years of research at the intersection of empathy science, AI ethics, and human emotional protection.
This is not implementation consulting. This is strategic clarity.

Why Me
I originated the HEART Framework — the first comprehensive constitutional governance architecture for emotional AI. This includes:
- Empathy Systems Theory: The scientific foundation explaining empathy as biological infrastructure
- HEART Constitutional Framework: Seven Axioms and Four Core Principles governing emotional AI
- HEART Technical Stack: Emotional Codex, UESP, EmotionID, FET, HVC for implementation

I’ve spent fourteen years developing this work — from empathy science research to constitutional framework to technical specification. I’m not adapting someone else’s framework. I built this.
