Human Oversight

What it is

Human oversight means keeping humans involved in AI decisions, especially consequential ones. This includes reviewing AI outputs before action, maintaining ability to override AI, and ensuring humans remain accountable for AI-influenced decisions.

Why it matters

Human oversight is a key safeguard against AI errors and misuse. It ensures humans remain responsible and can catch mistakes. As AI becomes more capable, maintaining meaningful oversight—not just rubber-stamping AI decisions—becomes both more important and more challenging.
