Artificially Intelligent Disability Assistance

A Call for an AI Disability Standard

November 8, 2026 by Basil C. Puglisi Leave a Comment

Navy cover reading A Call for an AI Disability Standard, with the full subtitle in gold beneath the title

The protections exist, and the person has no way to invoke them that the next institution recognizes.

This third working paper in the AIDA series proposes a notice, written as a cease and desist, with a validation behind it built the way the parking placard is built. It maps where the notice has force today in the United States and the European Union, carries the full case against its own proposal, and puts 28 questions to the disability community.

When AI Policy Becomes an Accessibility Barrier

September 25, 2026 by Basil C. Puglisi 3 Comments

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.

When AI Becomes Assistive Technology

September 24, 2026 by Basil C. Puglisi 2 Comments

When AI Becomes Assistive Technology: Artificially Intelligent Disability Assistance (AIDA)

A blind professional asks AI to describe a chart. The paper asks whether that use is assistive technology.

This working paper names the function Artificially Intelligent Disability Assistance (AIDA) and gives a three-prong test for when a use of general-purpose AI qualifies. It runs seven cases, from blindness and speech loss to post-traumatic stress, and it names the case the test excludes and the dissent it has to answer.

Responsible AI (#AIgenerated by Agents)

A Draft Taxonomy of Attacks on AI Agents Leaves Risk Tolerance to Each Organization #AIg

NIST’s November 9 draft taxonomy of attacks on AI agents says guardrails must face adaptive attackers, yet it sets no risk tolerance. Each organization needs a named human to sign the residual risk decision for every relevant attack type.

A UK Bill Clause on AI Agent Loss of Control Assumes Someone Held the Control. Can You Show Who? #AIg

The UK government tabled a clause letting regulations give ministers investigatory and enforcement powers when a regulated system’s compromise traces to loss of control of an AI agent. A loss-of-control rule assumes someone held control, so operators should be able to show who held stop authority before any incident.

Europe Plans to Assess AI Literacy in 15-Year-Olds. Who Holds the Checkpoint at School? #AIg

The European Commission will pilot an AI Literacy Certificate for 15-year-olds in the 2027/2028 school year. The framework behind it teaches pupils to set their own checkpoints; the school still needs a named person who signs which AI tools pupils use.

NIST’s Ten Agent Identity Tenets: What Checkpoint-Based Governance Already Carried

NIST published ten agent identity tenets on October 27, 2026. Nine were already in a public record that began in 2012.

This article lays the ten tenets against Checkpoint-Based Governance, the February 2026 GOPEL specification and code, and the Responsible AI desk that was publishing before the tenets appeared. Five match in full, four in part, and one, the agent’s own credential, is defined in the record and not yet issued. The reader gets the dates, the quotes, and the table to check them.

When an Agent Acts, Who Confirms Before the Kernel Lets It Through? #AIg

Sysdig AI Defense generally available on November 4 puts allow, confirm, or block in front of every agent action, traces each agent to an accountable human, and keeps audit records of who signed off. Conduktor and Google Cloud land the same week on human approval and sandboxed containment.

Bank Examiners Get a New Question: Is the Human Approval More Than a Click? #AIg

The OCC’s new supervisory framework for bank use of super intelligence tells examiners to test whether a human approval is more than a nominal click, flags a named reviewer without practical authority as a risk, and lets the degree of human oversight shape the risk tier.

New Suits Against OpenAI Ask Courts to Put an Outside Reviewer Over ChatGPT Releases #AIg

Two lawsuits filed in late October ask courts to put an outside reviewer between OpenAI and its next release: a court-approved evaluator in Texas and a five-year independent monitor in the Wan case. A third suit asks for automatic escalation. The requests show what injured parties will ask any chatbot company to prove.
