Override authority
The right and practical ability of the human overseer to decide not to use the system, or to disregard, reverse, or modify the system's output, in any particular situation (Article 14(4)(d)). Genuine override authority requires both a technical mechanism and a process environment that does not discourage its exercise.
Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 2 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in EU AI Act Implementation Expert.
How each discipline defines it
The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.
The right and practical ability of the human overseer to decide not to use the system, or to disregard, reverse, or modify the system's output, in any particular situation (Article 14(4)(d)). Genuine override authority requires both a technical mechanism and a process environment that does not discourage its exercise.
An explicit, documented right for a human to overrule an AI recommendation while explaining why. A primary antidote to a trust deficit, because control counters the feeling of being subject to a black box.
