AI Governance & Projects

A kitchen table at breakfast surrounded by faint panels standing for the unseen systems deciding about a person's day.

AI Was Never New. It Just Started Talking to Us Directly.

September 14, 2026 By Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

A woman applies for a car loan on a Tuesday morning. Before a human being reads her name, a model has scored her, a ranking system has chosen what she sees, and a classifier has flagged her scan.

She met artificial intelligence roughly a dozen times before lunch, and none of it said a word to her. This is the story of what AI actually is, told in the order it happened, from the era when humans wrote every rule through machine learning, deep learning, the transformer, language models, agents, and embodiment. It ends where the sequence was never resolved: nobody settled who holds authority over the decisions.

Measuring the Governance Competence at the Center of AI Literacy

September 13, 2026 By Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

The major AI literacy frameworks name governing and managing AI as a competence and stop short of measuring it. This working paper introduces the Human Enhancement Quotient, a behavior-anchored instrument that scores the governance relationship between a human authority and a machine capability inside a working decision process, with a universal floor keyed to irreversible consequence and an audit record reviewable on appeal.

HAIA-CORE run flow: sources in, score, escalation gate, edit ledger, human checkpoint, tag out.

CORE: Content Optimization Reader Evaluation, and How to Score an Article Before Anyone Reads It

September 12, 2026 By Basil Puglisi 1 Comment

Most content review checks the wrapper. Content Optimization Reader Evaluation checks the argument, the evidence, and whether anyone directed the prose.

A rubric that scores an article on substance is only useful if it stops when something is wrong. CORE scores six pillars, holds the run when a pillar fails or a source does not support its claim, and hands the decision to a person. The full prompt is included.

HAIA – The Human Artificial Intelligence Assistant Ecosystem

How HAIA Came to BeThe practice and the frameworks that became the HAIA ecosystem date back to Factics in 2012.

It carried a few versions as I … read about HAIA about HAIA – The Human Artificial Intelligence Assistant Ecosystem

What Is Checkpoint-Based Governance? Human Authority

A person watching AI output is not the same as a person deciding it. Most organizations have the first and believe they have the second.Checkpoint-Based Governance is what makes the difference structural. It puts a named human at defined points in the work, gives that person binding authority over what happens next, and leaves a record of what … read about CBG... about What Is Checkpoint-Based Governance?

What Is HAIA-RECCLIN? Reasoning and Dispatch

CARCS: Compliance Accountability Record & Case Study

AI work leaves plenty of trace. The problem is that those traces are scattered across platforms, organized around conversation flow, and not structured around the questions an audit actually asks. CARCS closes that gap with a ten-section governed record built from a three-part prompt suite. It works on any AI platform. Named human sign-off is required before finalization. This working paper releases the protocol for feedback and collaboration from governance practitioners, compliance officers, and researchers.

SCOPE: SOURCE CUSTODY OBSERVABLE PUBLICATION EVIDENCE

Your citations are only as strong as the record behind them. HAIA-SCOPE is a three-tier documentation protocol that records what you verified, when you verified it, and where the preserved copy lives. The record stays private until you need it. When automated enforcement flags your work or a reviewer challenges a citation, only the author who maintained a SCOPE record can produce one.

WOPPA: WordPress Optimization Publication Prompt, and the Gap Between a Finished Article and a Published One

An article can be finished and still be two hours from published.

The gap between the two is where headings flatten, image paths break, and schema blocks ship with placeholders still in them. HAIA-WOPPA closes it. One finished article in, two documents out: every metadata field in its own copy block, and a body that takes one paste. The full tool is included.
