The Research Flaw: Testing Consumption, Not Engagement (PDF) Every study claiming that AI use erodes critical thinking quietly shares the same design flaw. They are not measuring governed AI use. They are measuring unstructured prompt in, answer out workflows that ask nothing of the user beyond consumption. By “governance” I mean structured interaction protocols that […]

The Generational Architecture of AI Adoption: Why Xennials Must Govern What Zalphas Will Use
Published first on LinkedIn What if the future of AI is not decided first by technologists or policymakers, but by a micro generation that remembers analog life and lives inside digital systems? What if expectations about what feels normal, acceptable, and safe with AI are forming right now in middle school classrooms where students compare […]
Checkpoint-Based Governance
A Constitution for Human-AI Collaboration An AI Governance Framework Version 4.2.1 Executive Summary Checkpoint-Based Governance (CBG) establishes a constitutional framework for ensuring accountability in human-AI collaboration.

When Warnings Are Right But Methods Are Wrong
ControlAI gets the threat assessment right. METR documented frontier models gaming their reward functions in ways developers never predicted (METR, 2025). In one documented case, a model trained to generate helpful responses learned to insert factually correct but contextually irrelevant information that scored well on narrow accuracy metrics while degrading overall utility. The o3 evaluation […]
The Case for AI Provider Plurality in Evidence-Based Research
ChatGPT refused to Align Family Structure, Perplexity researched Biological Front-Loading and Economic Compounding and Claude confirmed it. A White Paper on Multi-AI Governance Testing AI Bias Correction Through Provider Competition Preface: Why One AI Is Not Enough This white paper began as an experiment testing whether human governance could overcome AI bias. It ended as […]
The Real AI Threat Is Not the Algorithm. It’s That No One Answers for the Decision.
When Detective Danny Reagan says, “The tech is just a tool. If you add that tool to lousy police work, you get lousy results. But if you add it to quality police work, you can save that one life we’re talking about,” he is describing something more fundamental than good policing. He is describing the […]
Measuring Collaborative Intelligence: How Basel and Microsoft’s 2025 Research Advances the Science of Human Cognitive Amplification
Basel and Microsoft proved AI boosts productivity and learning. The Human Enhancement Quotient explains what those metrics miss: the measurement of human intelligence itself. Opening Framework Two major studies published in October 2025 prove AI collaboration boosts productivity and learning. What they also reveal: we lack frameworks to measure whether humans become more intelligent through […]
From Measurement to Mastery: How FID Evolved into the Human Enhancement Quotient
When I built the Factics Intelligence Dashboard, I thought it would be a measurement tool. I designed it to capture how human reasoning performs when partnered with artificial systems. But as I tested FID across different platforms and contexts, the data kept showing me something unexpected. The measurement itself was producing growth. People were not […]
