Human-AI Collaboration

Human-AI Collaboration Needs More Than a Human in the Loop

by 2 Comments

Human oversight of automated systems is older than AI, and current AI practice still falls short of it.

This paper traces human oversight and accountability from the cybernetics literature of 1948 to Article 14 of the EU AI Act, then separates Responsible AI from AI Governance. It sets out Checkpoint-Based Governance, where a named human holds binding authority to accept, modify, or reject an AI output and leaves a record, and it proposes the studies that would test it. It closes on the Growth OS, a future of work in which AI amplifies people instead of replacing them.

Measuring the Governance Competence at the Center of AI Literacy

by 3 Comments

The major AI literacy frameworks name governing and managing AI as a competence and stop short of measuring it. This working paper introduces the Human Enhancement Quotient, a behavior-anchored instrument that scores the governance relationship between a human authority and a machine capability inside a working decision process, with a universal floor keyed to irreversible consequence and an audit record reviewable on appeal.

The On-Ramp Problem: What the Canaries Dashboard Shows, and What It Cannot Measure

by 1 Comment

The AI jobs numbers look calm. Cut them by age, and the calm disappears. The dashboard that found the early-career decline can diagnose the trend but cannot see whether a single worker is being grown or replaced. Here is what it shows, what it cannot, and the measurement the moment needs.

AI Visibility: Be the Human Voice AI Can Find

by 1 Comment

Most of the market is selling AI SEO tricks. The real shift is governance: being found, cited, and represented accurately inside AI answers, with a named human accountable for each correction. SEO is the floor, not the finish line.

Why Agentic AI Was Always Going to Fail

by 3 Comments

The agentic AI era promised to replace humans with autonomous systems. The evidence shows it failed on two fronts: the technology cannot reliably do what it promised, and the public is rejecting the premise even where it partially works. This paper introduces the Named-Human Test, a single sorting question that separates what failed from what survives, and traces that line across production benchmarks, supermajority polling, enacted law, and frontier-lab disclosures.

Stop Blaming AI for What the Education System Abandoned

AI did not make student writing less creative. Unstructured deployment without method governance did. A data-supported op-ed walks through 372,793 essays, Senate testimony, and a psychometric study that names the student as the problem without ever measuring whether the institution provided governed deployment.

How Credentialed Professionals Shape Policy When Method Governance Is Stripped

by 1 Comment

When the same cognitive neuroscientist gave the Senate one position and a podcast six days earlier the opposite, the cognitive research base supports neither. The viral oral testimony has more than two million views. Missouri HB 2230 passed the House 143-10 with witnesses citing it by name. KOSMA at the federal level is being built on this evidentiary record. This 39-page case study sets four artifacts side by side and documents how strategic ambiguity in credentialed testimony reaches policy without ever being reconciled.

Crossing Over 1,000 Published Posts: Digital Marketing to AI

by Leave a Comment

In 2009, a blog post about social media. Today, over twenty white papers, three published books with two more pending, and the operating architecture for human-AI collaboration that the industry is still figuring out how to build. This past week, after publishing post 1001, I noticed basilpuglisi.com had crossed one thousand published articles. A thousand […]

HAIA-RECCLIN: Reasoning and Dispatch

by 9 Comments

Nine AI platforms reviewed the same paper and eight agreed. Agreement proved nothing, because platforms trained on the same data carry the same blind spots. HAIA-RECCLIN is the ten-field format that makes any platform cite its sources and hand the decision back, and the dispatch method that assigns seven roles by proven strength.
