Why it matters
Human-in-the-Loop matters because it affects how AI systems are designed, evaluated, priced, or trusted. Knowing the term helps you ask better questions and avoid vague implementation decisions.
- Ask how it changes quality, cost, speed, or safety.
- Look for concrete examples in the workflow you are building.
- Document the tradeoff before choosing a tool or architecture.
