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 […]

How AI Disrupted the Traditional Marketing Funnel: Causes, Impacts, and Strategies for the Future

October 13, 2025 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

AI Marketing Funnel

The marketing funnel no longer represents how people decide. It once offered a sense of order, moving neatly from awareness to interest, from intent to purchase. That model was designed for a time when attention moved predictably and information arrived through controlled channels. Today, artificial intelligence interprets those same moments as patterns of interaction rather […]

The Growth OS: Leading with AI Beyond Efficiency Part 2

September 4, 2025 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Growth OS with AI Trust

Part 2: From Pilots to Transformation Pilots are safe. Transformation is bold. That is why so many AI projects stop at the experiment stage. The difference is not in the tools but in the system leaders build around them. Organizations that treat AI as an add-on end up with slide decks. Organizations that treat it […]

The Growth OS: Leading with AI Beyond Efficiency

August 29, 2025 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

AI for Growth

Part 1: AI for Growth, Not Just Efficiency AI framed as efficiency is a limited play. It trims, but it does not multiply. The organizations pulling ahead today are those that see AI as part of a broader Growth Operating System, which unifies people, processes, data, and tools into a cultural framework that drives expansion […]

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 […]

Ever been that person who had to sit with a nonprofit director needing videos in three languages on a shoestring budget? The deadline is tight, the resources thin, and panic usually follows. Except now, with the right stack, the story plays differently. One script in Synthesia becomes localized clips, NotebookLM trims prep for board updates, […]

Why AI Detection Tools Fail at Measuring Value [OPINION]

May 22, 2025 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

AI detection, Originality.ai, GPTZero, Turnitin, Copyscape, Writer.com, Basil Puglisi, content strategy, false positives

AI detection platforms promise certainty, but what they really deliver is confusion. Originality.ai, GPTZero, Turnitin, Copyscape, and Writer.com all claim to separate human writing from synthetic text. The idea sounds neat, but the assumption behind it is flawed. These tools dress themselves up as arbiters of truth when in reality they measure patterns, not value. […]
