Can human operators safely interrupt or override the AI system at any time?
Can human operators safely interrupt or override the AI system at any time?
- High-risk AI systems must provide natural persons with the means to stop or override the system when necessary. This includes mechanisms such as a 'stop button' or fallback procedures that bring the system to a safe state.
- A lack of override capabilities could lead to harm, especially in autonomous systems where malfunction or misalignment may go unnoticed without human intervention.
If you answered No then you are at risk
If you are not sure, then you might be at risk too
Recommendations
- Design systems with built-in override or halt capabilities.
- Ensure that these mechanisms are tested regularly and accessible to responsible personnel.
- Document override procedures clearly and provide training to relevant users.
