Human-in-the-Loop

A workflow where humans review or approve AI actions.

Plain-English explanation

Human review is important for external communications, money movement, destructive actions, regulated advice, and uncertain model outputs.

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.
