What it is

Human in the loop means designing a system so that people review or approve key steps — before money is spent, data is changed or a decision affects someone. Good design asks rarely, but at the right moments; asking about everything trains people to click "yes".

Example

An agent prepares invoice corrections; a person approves them before they reach the accounting system.

What can go wrong

Approvals that come too often become automatic; approvals that are missing let errors through.

How to secure it

Define which actions need approval, show exactly what will happen before it happens, and log who approved what.

EU rules

For high-risk AI systems, the EU AI Act requires effective human oversight — from December 2027 for most high-risk uses.
