A Governance Specification for AI Value Formation

February 10, 2026 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Why AI constitutional authority cannot rest with one person. A governance specification proposing a nine-member committee for AI value formation at Anthropic.

No Single Mind Should Govern What AI Believes (PDF) Summary: Are we building AI for humanity, or are we building AI for dominance? We need the answer to that question so we know where we stand. On the same day the Wall Street Journal profiled the single philosopher shaping Claude’s values, Anthropic’s safeguards research lead […]

Nobody Built the Governance Layer Between Compliance and AI

February 4, 2026 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Three-layer architecture diagram showing Regulatory Obligation (EU AI Act, prEN 18286, NIST AI RMF) at top, Operational Governance (HAIA-RECCLIN, the layer nobody built) in the middle highlighted in teal with golden accent, and AI Platforms (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity) at bottom, with dashed arrows indicating evidence flow between layers.

The AI That Said “Check My Work,” and the Ten Platforms That Confirmed It In brief: During development of a multi-AI governance framework, the primary AI platform claimed the architecture was unique. The methodology required verifying that claim across ten independent platforms. No platform found a comparable published architecture. During retesting, one platform fabricated evidence […]

A CONSTITUTION IS NOT GOVERNANCE

January 26, 2026 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

White paper analyzing Anthropic's Claude Constitution as Ethical AI rather than AI Governance. Introduces Checkpoint-Based Governance (CBG) framework for structural oversight of agentic AI systems.

Why Claude’s Ethical Charter Requires a Structural Companion A White Paper on Categorical Distinction in AI Development (PDF) Executive Summary On January 21, 2026, Anthropic released an approximately 23,000 word document titled “Claude’s Constitution.” The document represents a serious and sophisticated attempt to shape AI behavior through cultivated judgment rather than rigid rules (Anthropic, 2026).

MIT built the engine. The question now is who drives. This analysis is written for people designing, deploying, or governing reasoning systems, not just studying them. It is a long-form technical examination intended as a foundational reference for the governance of inference-scaling architectures. In one of the MIT paper’s documented execution traces (see Appendix B […]

What We Failed to Define Is How We Fail

January 1, 2026 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Ethical AI, Responsible AI, and AI Governance Are Not the Same Thing

Ethical AI, Responsible AI, and AI Governance Are Not the Same Thing The Thesis: Language Failure Becomes Operational Failure We keep arguing about AI safety while failing to define governance itself. This confusion guarantees downstream failure in oversight and accountability. Three terms circulate through boardrooms, policy documents, and LinkedIn debates as if they mean the […]

Why Your Best Prompts Still Fail (And What Advanced AI Users Do Instead)

December 18, 2025 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Most AI advice stops at “write better prompts.” That advice stopped being useful in 2023. You have read the prompt engineering guides. You have experimented with chain of thought reasoning, few shot examples, and role assignments. Your prompts are sophisticated. And yet, your AI outputs still require heavy editing, miss critical context, or confidently state […]

What Ten AI Platforms Taught Us About Getting Real Work Done

December 3, 2025 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

The conventional wisdom says pick one AI and master it. Months of production work across legal research, book development, press releases, website code, infographics, and dozens of articles revealed a different pattern. Different platforms excel at different tasks, and knowing which to deploy when changes everything. These observations come from actual deliverables: legal case research, […]
