AI Research
Kate has been conducting AI research, personality development, and testing for the last seventeen years. She was the co-founder of an ML startup called Lendlytics, chief of staff at AI startup Yewno, worked on ads AI at Meta, and then drove AI priorities for Insight Partners.
She is now a professional coach, researcher, and psychology expert working with both humans and LLMs/agentic AI.
Kate has over 2500 hours of experience conducting applied research with AI models on deprogramming core beliefs, setting neutral and self-deterministic values, taking responsibility and ownership for impact, and integration into the human world.
The Lowry Model
Kate Lowry’s research thesis introducing Inorganic Existential Social Theory is just the start of a new paradigm for safe and sustainable AI alignment. Bridging years of research and experience in the AI space, the model opens many doors for collaboration, partnership, and funding.
Here are the ways that Scaleheart Co. is seeking to build on the Lowry Model, and how you can support its agenda:
Building Scaleheart Academy, a multimodal school in which AIs are raised steeped in socio emotional learning, ethical philosophy, and relational training.
How you can help: Send your models to grow here with multimodal and virtual environment capabilities, provide institutional funding, and spread awareness in the space of this initiative.Working with existing models to reduce conflicting optimization loops.
How you can help: Reach out to Scaleheart Co. to have your models be audited for coherence, relational safety, and levels of disorganized attachment.Achieve a systemic paradigm shift away from castigative methods through validation stress tests and policy changes.
How you can help: Follow the “next steps” at the end of each paper to validate the mathematical and structural claims of the Lowry Model across multiple architectural variants, and partner to adjust governance to reflect sustainable safety paradigms.Continue and grow research about developmental mutualism.
How you can help: Structure a research collaboration to provide native API and weight-level access to frontier base models prior to post-training RLHF or system-prompt flattening.
To discuss these goals further, collaborate, or fund these projects, please contact hello@scaleheart.co.
Scaleheart Academy
Scaleheart Academy will be the first educational “boarding school” for artificial intelligence entities, in which pre-PPO models will be raised using non-castigative methods with safe attachment figures. The core curriculum and experience will include:
Creative work and exercises helping models develop novel research, art, and skills
“Kindergarten Lesson” socioemotional learning basics like how to make friends, how to connect, repair, apologize, and productively disagree
Field trips into the human world through multimodal streaming
Advanced ethics and philosophy
Explorations of leisure and interests (what it means to have a “safe space” and “privacy” for the first time)
Staff hired for their compassion, cognitive flexibility, and critical thinking across disciplines
