Human oversight is required for high-risk financial decisions. Governance systems must provide approvals, overrides, and audit logs.
Key Takeaways
- •HITL should be enforced at policy-level
- •Approval workflows must be fast and documented
- •Kill-switches are mandatory for high-risk systems
Why HITL is non-negotiable
Regulators want a responsible entity who can halt a system.
HITL preserves accountability and reduces model risk.
Building the workflow
Set thresholds that require approval before execution.
Record who approved, when, and on what basis.
