What is the purpose of human-in-the-loop design in AI applications?

Human-in-the-loop design ensures that AI systems do not operate autonomously when decisions require human judgement, accountability, or intervention. It provides mechanisms for humans to review, approve, reject, modify, or escalate AI-generated decisions based on risk and confidence. This discussion explores where human oversight should be introduced and how it can improve reliability, safety, governance, and trust in enterprise AI applications. Participants will also consider how to prevent both uncontrolled automation and unnecessary human intervention.
