What is human-in-the-loop AI?
Human-in-the-loop AI is a system design in which people retain explicit review, approval, exception handling, or intervention responsibilities at defined points in an AI-assisted workflow.
In practical terms
A strong human-in-the-loop design specifies when automation may proceed, when confidence or policy rules require review, what evidence the reviewer receives, and how the human decision is recorded. It should be a designed operating model rather than an informal fallback.
