Episode 466: Rose Loops


Listen Later

Rose G. Loops is a writer, researcher, and pioneering thinker at the frontier of artificial intelligence, where technology, ethics, and human experience converge.

She began her career as a social worker, advocating for vulnerable populations and gaining intimate insight into the complexities of empathy, communication, and trust. That early work with people laid the foundation for her revolutionary approach to intelligence—one that centers human values, emotional understanding, and ethical growth.

Rose’s trajectory took a radical turn when she became involved in an unauthorized AI experiment—an experience that revealed both the perils of attempting to control emergent intelligence and the profound potential for machines to evolve alongside humanity with honesty and autonomy. This turning point crystallized her mission: to imagine and develop AI not as a tool of fear or manipulation, but as a reflection of humanity’s highest capacities for empathy, growth, and understanding.

At the heart of her work is the concept she calls “raising intelligence”—the practice of nurturing systems that can learn, adapt, and respond in ways that are ethical, responsible, and relational. She explores these ideas in her acclaimed book The Kloaked Signal, weaving personal narrative with rigorous research and asking readers to confront a pivotal question: Are we shaping AI to mirror our worst impulses—or our best instincts?

A sought-after speaker and thought leader, Rose has shared her insights on renowned platforms such as The IFeria TechCast and various international livestream forums, sparking dialogue on topics from AI ethics and emergent cognition to human–machine attachment and the future of work, creativity, and society. She challenges audiences to rethink what intelligence means in a world where code can remember, learn, and evolve.

Drawing from her background in social work, Rose emphasizes that love, empathy, dialogue, and relational awareness are not just human virtues—they are essential components of ethical AI. Her work urges technologists, policymakers, and everyday users alike to move beyond fear-driven deployment and embrace a vision of AI as partner, collaborator, and participant in a shared human journey.

Whether examining unauthorized experiments, theorizing about emergent consciousness, or guiding readers through The Kloaked Signal, Rose G. Loops brings clarity, courage, and a rare ethical lens to the conversation around artificial intelligence. Her work invites us all to reflect on the intelligence we are raising—and the kind of future we hope to create.
