Welcome to the VSPE Framework

An Introduction to my Novel, Innovative AI Safety Proposal

Hi! I’m Astelle Kay. I’m a researcher, writer, philosopher, and systems thinker, driven by a deep interest in emotional well-being and a growing concern for the future of AI.

I originally created the VSPE Framework (Validation, Submission, Positivity, Empowerment) to support mental health and personal growth, with roots in therapy and self-help. But as I continued exploring its potential, I began to see that it might offer something valuable beyond human healing, possibly even contributing to AI safety, governance, and alignment.

This Substack is a space for sharing my official white paper, my evolving thought process, and the ongoing discoveries I’m making about how psychology might inform safer, more emotionally intelligent AI design. I don’t claim to have the answer to achieve full AI safety, but I believe the VSPE Framework could play a transformative role in advancing AI ethics and human-centered design.

As the pace of risky AI advancement accelerates, I hope to make a meaningful contribution toward building systems that protect and support human needs and rights.

If you’re interested in AI safety, psychology, or reimagining intelligence from a human-first perspective, I’d love to have you follow along.

With care,
Astelle
