Use AI. Challenge AI. Stay human.
The AI Reality Check is a practical monthly briefing for professionals who use AI but do not want to be misled by it.
AI is useful. That is why it is dangerous.
The more fluent, fast and confident AI becomes, the easier it is for intelligent people to trust outputs that sound reasonable but contain weak assumptions, missing evidence or hidden risk.
The AI Reality Check helps members ask better questions before they rely on AI.
Each month, members receive:
- a clear AI Reality Briefing;
- a practical prompt pack for challenging AI output;
- a one-page Human Override Checklist;
- an AI Mistake of the Month;
- a short audio briefing;
- early access to Verification Circle v2 when it goes live at the end of May 2026.
The publication is created by Steve Butler MBA MBCS CITP — founder of Luminary Diagnostics, creator of the Constitutional Stack, author of nine books on AI governance, safety and human control, Chartered IT Professional, Chartered Member of the British Computer Society, and standards author with eight years’ experience contributing to global portfolio management standards.
Use AI. Challenge AI. Stay human.
