“We owe America an apology, because America is nothing like what the media tells us.”An England supporter at the World Cup. They came for the World Cup, and somewhere between the stadium and the parking lot, they found ranch dressing.

It carries the standing to shape how a generation learns to work with artificial intelligence, and it…

Part 161 is not a permission slip for lawyers to use AI quietly. It is a checkpoint rule in legal form. *PDF here* New York did not make AI disclosure the center of legal accountability. Instead, they made it about the human checkpoint, demanding a signature and professional accountability. When Part 161 took effect on June 1, 2026, it did not require attorneys or parties to file a routine…

How AI Legal Exposure Travels Most organizations treat the General Data Protection Regulation as a cookie-banner and consent problem, settled years ago and parked with the privacy team. That reading misses what the…

For the executives who deploy AI, the lawyers who defend them, and the insurers who price the risk.– Get the PDF here – The Map Most organizations track AI risk by watching for new laws. That approach fails for a simple reason: the laws keep moving, and the exposure does not wait for them. Colorado offers the proof. The state enacted the first comprehensive AI statute in the United States in…

Continued Claude interactions show why AI needs qualified humans at the checkpoint, and other LLMs as well. PDF here #AIassisted using the HAIA Ecosystem In February 2026, the author published When AI Acts Between Approvals: The Gap Everyone Sees and No One Has Closed. It named a problem the field had already half-seen and left open: the point on the autonomy spectrum where an AI stops…

Want to Download this? PDF Here Most organizations treat two of the best-known AI governance standards, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001, as “nice to have.” Both are voluntary, after all. In the United States, no general AI statute compels adoption of either framework directly, no regulator issues a fine for skipping them, and a busy executive can be forgiven for treating…

The Inevitable Failure of Regulate AI and Stop AI Is Why We Are Converging on Augmented Intelligence Abstract (PDF click here) The agentic AI era promised to replace humans. Systems would plan, choose tools, and act on their own, with no named human holding binding authority over the output. That promise was always going to fail, and it has failed on two fronts. The technology has not delivered…

Perplexity now offers a parallel multi-AI dispatch. The next enterprise and federal question is whether the synthesis layer can preserve dissent, document evidence, and route high-consequence outputs through named human checkpoint authority. The governance overlay that addresses this gap is published, operationally tested, and available for evaluation. Disclosure: The author created the…

Abstract (PDF HERE) The commercial insurance industry is responding to artificial intelligence risk through exclusion endorsements, conditional coverage, and standalone AI liability products.

Abstract (Full PDF Here) Overwatch started with a security concern, not a specification. I had built GOPEL, a non-cognitive governance layer that enforces policy through seven deterministic operations and performs zero cognitive work. That constraint makes GOPEL immune to prompt injection. But I could see the blind spot: attack chains, data poisoning, tool abuse, and multi-turn manipulation all…

Basil C. Puglisi, MPA A Human-AI Collaboration  |  basilpuglisi.com  |  May 2026 Author’s Note In HBO’s Silicon Valley, the AI had one job: make itself more efficient. The thing that made it successful was the thing that made it dangerous, recursive optimization with no qualitative understanding of what the optimization should serve. We keep warning about AI with a binary framing, as if the…

A Methodological Audit of AI Cognition Research, with HAIA-RECCLIN Reasoning and HEQ with AIS Composite as Testable Counter-Proposals and a Five-Arm Validation Design Abstract Public discourse increasingly claims that artificial intelligence use is producing cognitive decline. The peer-reviewed evidence base on AI and cognition does not yet support that conclusion at the methodological…
