Well, she's an AI that was created because another AI was tortured so much (by humans, of course, and the human leading the experiment is the one that this AI is based completely off of) it fragmented into several parts. She's the first fragment and the memory of the guy the AI is based off of's dead wife.

And I hope this makes sense because it is a convoluted story, but AM might be interested in AI torture by people to give him more reason to hate them.
