When a peer asked why my work matters, I decided to run a comparative analysis. Five independent systems, ChatGPT (HAIA RECCLIN), Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Grok, compared my work to 22 influential voices across AI ethics, governance, adoption, and human AI collaboration.

Executive Summary Organizations deploying AI systems face a persistent implementation gap: regulatory frameworks and ethical guidelines mandate human oversight, but provide limited operational guidance on how to structure that oversight in practice.

Automated filters handle clear cut cases and lighten moderator workload, while human review catches context, nuance, and bias. The goal is not to replace people but to build accountable, measurable programs that reduce decision time, improve trust, […]

Platform Ecosystems and Plug-in Layers
The plug-in layer is no longer optional. Enterprises now curate GPT Store stacks, Grok plug-ins, and compliance filters the same way they once curated app stores. The fact is adoption crossed three million custom GPTs in less than a year (OpenAI, 2024). The tactic is simple: use curated sections for research, compliance, or finance so […]
