Emotional Infrastructure™ is a governance framework developed by Brittany Wright that translates ethical principles into enforceable system design for emotionally intelligent technologies.
Current privacy laws regulate data—but not emotion. Tone, stress, and hesitation are harvested and optimized without consent, creating a new dimension of digital exploitation.
Grounded in trauma-informed behavioral science, Emotional Infrastructure™ establishes three non-negotiable standards for ethical technology: Dignity, Sovereignty, and Recovery. These principles function as compliance-grade mechanisms that align emotional integrity with technical performance.
By treating ethics as infrastructure, this framework enables organizations to design systems that prevent harm, reinforce trust, and uphold the emotional rights of every user
Our mission is to ensure that emotional data—the behavioral patterns, language cues, and affective signals that reflect lived truth—are treated not as exploitable resources but as protected knowledge.
We pursue this through interdisciplinary research, ethical system architecture, and trauma-informed design principles that center human sovereignty, trust, and accountability in every layer of digital interaction.
