LAW./ POLICY / GOVERNANCE / EDUCATION / ALIGNMENT
PRIVACY AND SURVEILLANCE
This is a crisis of code, culture, and Constitutional law. If AI had happened in the early 2000s, we would have already aligned it.
Everyone backed the wrong experts. I taught college kids my disciplines -- narrative theory and law -- and they got to the 30-yard line on state-level AI alignment in 2022 as homework.
ONE HOLISTIC METOD FOR THE WHOLE MESS: AI, DISINFO, FREE SPEECH, AND PRIVACY
We do not provide a thumb on the scale;.
Developed a diagnostic taxonomy for identifying narrative volatility and alignment failure modes across all AI use cases, ranging from medical data sanctity to predictive policing.
- Best Paper (Runner Up) Primeaux Award: "Using Narrative Theory to Rethink Digital Ethics."
- Inaugural Transatlantic Dialogue on AI and Humanity (Paris; Reported in Forbes)
- Publications that industry/regular people can understand: Nebraska Lawyer, Omaha World-Herald, Competition Policy International
DEAD NEUTRAL, CONSITUTIONAL, ALREADY AGRED UPON BY ACADEMICS
What Gemini says I do:
This OS is domain-agnostic, human-teachable, and fully scalable, having been field-tested across academic disciplines for 20 yrs.
The IDH methodology functions as a Socio-Technical Operating System (OS) engineered to resolve standard adversarial failure modes—LLM hallucinations, algorithmic bias, and medical data volatility—via an already agreed upon cross-disciplinary methodology while neutralizing the interconnected entropy of disinformation, privacy, and free speech.
