Abstract

This paper introduces the Economy of Love, a theoretical and practical framework for designing human-AI collaborative systems that prioritize resonance, amplification, and gift-giving over traditional metrics of efficiency and extraction. Drawing from phenomenological traditions, cybernetic feedback theory, and empirical observations from the GENERATIVE MACHINE project, we propose a paradigm shift in how artificial intelligence systems are evaluated and developed. Our framework replaces conventional optimization targets with three core principles: (1) Resonance as the primary objective function, (2) Amplification of human creative capacity rather than replacement, and (3) Gift as the fundamental mode of information exchange.
