AI Policy

Superintelligence Has Authors, the US Government Is Not One of Them

October 3, 2026 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

AI-generated image of President Trump and tech executives at a table while faded researchers with question marks stand behind

President Trump renamed artificial intelligence after a mind no one has built.

Executive Order 14434 gives today’s ordinary AI the name researchers reserved for an intellect beyond ours, and the minds who defined that word were not in the room. Basil C. Puglisi traces superintelligence from Turing and Good to Bostrom and shows how the order skips the AGI rung. The rename is a bad joke if superintelligence is far off and dangerous if the fears are right.

When AI Policy Becomes an Accessibility Barrier

September 25, 2026 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Timeline of key AI policy, disability law, and platform events from January 2025 through December 2026

If AI is a disability tool, are the rules restricting it unethical at best and illegal at worst?

This companion working paper maps which United States laws reach which institutions and classifies six types of AI policy risk, from outright bans to detection tools. It works a pending smart-glasses case, compares the EU AI Act, and closes with a model accommodation clause any institution can adopt.

Humans Are Optional When Defining AI Governance for ISO, According to the U.S. Technical Advisory Group

September 22, 2026 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Side by side panels comparing the ISO DIS 21520 Clause 3.2 AI governance definition with the rejected human authority version

A standards body just wrote down that AI governance can exist without a human in control.

In September 2026 the U.S. TAG to ISO/TC 258 answered a public comment on the draft AI standard for project management. It accepted two editorial corrections and rejected the one that would have put binding human authority and attributable accountability inside the definition. This is the filing, the four reasons for the rejection, and why a definition without a governor fails the moral test the public is already applying.

The AI HOAX Distraction: Safety, Money, and Why You Can’t Tell Which Is Driving

September 17, 2026 by Basil Puglisi 3 Comments

Dark server monolith looms over a crowd under a WE THE PEOPLE banner while two groups argue from money piles

Six positions in nine days, and every one of them fits the speaker’s balance sheet.

In September 2026 four frontier labs called for a slowdown, the President called the whole thing a hoax, and two of the largest companies in AI said the market already handles it. This piece argues the slowdown is not evidence that governance is working. It is evidence that economic incentives are still in charge, with the sign flipped. Readers get the dated exposure curve behind the calls, the reason liability cannot currently steer, and a narrower proposal than pacing the frontier.

AI Governance Has No Formal Definition. Here Is One.

March 14, 2026 by Basil Puglisi 2 Comments

A single human figure standing at a governance checkpoint with hand raised, halting a flowing stream of AI outputs. Five pillars representing international standards frameworks stand behind the figure. Navy and gold color palette in clean architectural editorial style.

No standards body has defined AI Governance. No regulation locks it. After reviewing every major framework, here is the definition the field is missing. The phrase “AI Governance” appears in international treaties, executive orders, corporate reports, and academic handbooks. More than 40 countries have adopted governance principles through the OECD. The European Union built an […]

Checkpoint-Based Governance (CBG): A Constitutional Framework for Human-AI Collaboration

March 10, 2026 by Basil Puglisi 3 Comments

Checkpoint-Based Governance CBG v5.0 constitutional framework infographic showing four constitutional properties, the decision loop, HAIA stack position, and Asimov harm boundary. Intellectual property of Basil C. Puglisi, MPA.

Human oversight is the phrase everyone uses, and almost nobody defines what it requires. Checkpoint-Based Governance sets four conditions that separate a human who reviewed from a human who decided, and it puts that difference in the record. Read what a checkpoint has to do to count.
