Do we have the resources and processes to effectively oversee AI decision-making?
  • Human oversight is essential for identifying errors, biases, or unintended consequences in AI systems, especially in high-risk contexts. However, meaningful oversight requires not only a procedural mechanism but also adequate staffing, expertise, training, and organizational support.
  • Without sufficient resources, human reviewers may merely rubber-stamp decisions or fall into automation bias, reducing accountability and increasing the likelihood of harmful outcomes.

If you answered No then you are at risk

If you are not sure, then you might be at risk too

Recommendations

  • Allocate clear roles and responsibilities for oversight.
  • Train reviewers to recognize automation bias and understand the system's limitations.
  • Establish workflows that support human-in-the-loop or human-on-the-loop oversight.
  • Involve multidisciplinary stakeholders in the review process to ensure meaningful checks and balances.
