Dimension 2: Make humans meaningfully accountable
Is this legally binding?
Guidance. Voluntary guidance. Best practice, not obligation, until a contract or a regulator cites it.
Clearly define responsibilities of stakeholders within the organisation and with external vendors, emphasise adaptive governance, and adapt human-in-the-loop to address automation bias via significant human-approval checkpoints and regular audits of oversight.
From the source
““human-in-the-loop” has to be adapted to address automation bias, which has become a bigger concern with increasingly capable agents.”
