Human-AI Collaboration

Measuring the Governance Competence at the Center of AI Literacy

September 13, 2026 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

The Augmented Intelligence Score architecture

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

June 28, 2026 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Two-scales diagram contrasting the population Canaries Dashboard with person-scale HEQ and AIS measurement of augmentation.

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

June 25, 2026 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

A clear human voice standing out inside an AI-generated answer.

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

June 4, 2026 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

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

June 1, 2026 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Flow diagram showing how unstructured AI deployment produces homogenized output blamed on AI.

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.

Did AI Write Magnifica Humanitas?Pope Leo XIV Was the Author,but What Was the Governance Method?

May 31, 2026 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Open book reflected in a mirror with digital governance patterns, representing the convergence between papal moral teaching and AI governance frameworks.

The author ran Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical through an AI scanner, found it flagged as plagiarized and AI-generated, then proved both readings wrong through governed human analysis. A first-person account of frustration, recognition, dissent, and hope from a builder who discovered the Pope had reached the same diagnosis from a different authority.

How Credentialed Professionals Shape Policy When Method Governance Is Stripped

May 6, 2026 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Side-by-side contrast: Horvath's Senate "remove technology" quote vs. his podcast "edtech actually works" statement six days earlier.

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.

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

March 17, 2026 by Basil Puglisi 8 Comments

HAIA-RECCLIN Reasoning and Dispatch Third Edition cover showing a human silhouette at the center of governed AI connections, representing human oversight authority across multiple AI platforms

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.

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 […]
